Abstract: The concern of this paper is to clarify a relationship between the curvatures at infinity and the spectral structure of the Laplacian. In particular, this paper discusses the question of whether there is an eigenvalue of the Laplacian embedded in the essential spectrum or not. The borderline-behavior of the radial curvatures for this problem will be determined: we will assume that the radial curvature $K_{mrad.}$ of an end converges to a constant -1 at infinity with the decay order $K_{mrad.}+1=o(r^{-1})$ and prove the absence of eigenvalues embedded in the essential spectrum. Furthermore, in order to show that this decay order $K_{mrad.}+1=o(r^{-1})$ is sharp, we will construct a manifold with the radial curvature decay $K_{mrad.}+1=O(r^{-1})$ and with an eigenvalue $frac(n-1{)}^{2}4+1$ embedded in the essential spectrum $[frac(n-1{)}^{2}4,infty)$ of the Laplacian.

Review text

Let \((M,g)\) be a non-compact complete Riemannian manifold of dimension \(n\). The Laplace-Beltrami operator \(\Delta=\Delta(M,g)\) is essentially self-adjoint on \(C_0^\infty(M)\). Assume that the curvature \(K\) converges to \(-1\) at infinity. If \(K_{\text{rad}}+1=o(r^{-1})\), the author shows that there are no eigenvalues embedded in the essential spectrum. This estimate is sharp -- the author constructs a manifold with radial curvature decay \(K_{\text{rad}}+1=O(r^{-1})\) with an eigenvalue \(1+{(n-1)^2\over4}\) embedded in the essential spectrum \([{(n-1)^2\over4},\infty)\).
