Estimates of eigenvalues in context of PDEs (35P15) Green's functions for elliptic equations (35J08) PDEs on Heisenberg groups, Lie groups, Carnot groups, etc. (35R03) Nonlinear spectral theory, nonlinear eigenvalue problems (47J10)

Abstract: In this paper, by extending the notions of harmonic transplantation and harmonic radius in the Heisenberg group, we give an upper bound for the first eigenvalue for the following Dirichlet problem:

(P_{Omega}) left{ �egin{array}{lllll} -Delta_{mathbb{H}^1} u & = & lambda u & mbox{in} & Omega u & = & 0 & mbox{on} & partial Omega, end{array} ight.

where

O m e g a

is a regular bounded domain of

m a t h b b H^{1}

with smooth boundary and

D e l t a_{m a t h b b H^{1}}

is the Kohn-Laplace operator. Using the results of P.Pansu which give the relation between the volume of

O m e g a

and the perimeter of its boundary. we prove the following

lambda_{1}( Omega ) leq C_{Omega} displaystyle frac{ l_{11}^2 }{ displaystyle max_{ xi in Omega } r_{Omega}^2(xi)}

where

l_{11}

is the first strictly positive zero of the Bessel function of first kind and order 1,

C_{O m e g a}

is a constant depending of

O m e g a

and

r_{O m e g a} (x i)

is the harmonic radius of

O m e g a

at a point

x i

of

O m e g a .
