Eigenvalue control for a Finsler-Laplace operator

From MaRDI portal
Publication:2376974



Abstract: Using the definition of a Finsler--Laplacian given by the first author, we show that two bi-Lipschitz Finsler metrics have a controlled spectrum. We deduce from that several generalizations of Riemannian results. In particular, we show that the spectrum on Finsler surfaces is controlled above by a constant depending on the topology of the surface and on the quasireversibility constant of the metric. In contrast to Riemannian geometry, we then give examples of highly non-reversible metrics on surfaces with arbitrarily large first eigenvalue.


The authors extend several Riemannian results regarding eigenvalue control for the Laplace-Beltrami operator to the Finslerian context, using a new generalization of this operator. They prove that two bi-Lipschitz Finsler metrics have a controlled spectrum and hence the spectrum of Finsler surfaces is controlled from above by a constant depending on the topology of the surface and on the quasireversibility of the metric. They also give examples of highly non-reversible metrics on surfaces with arbitrarily large first eigenvalue.
