Abstract: Let (M,g) be a complete manifold of nonpositive scalar curvature, let OmegasubsetM be a suitable domain, and let lambda(Omega) be the first Dirichlet eigenvalue of the Laplace-Beltrami operator on Omega. We prove several bounds for the rate of decrease of lambda(Omega) and Omega increases, and a result comparing the rate of decrease of lambda before and after a conformal diffeomorphism. Along the way, we prove a reverse-Holder inequality for the first eigenfunction, which generalizes results of Chiti to the monifold setting and may be of independent interest
