Abstract: Let $(M,g)$ be a complete non-compact Riemannian manifold. We consider operators of the form $Delt{a}_g+V$, where $Delt{a}_g$ is the non-negative Laplacian associated with the metric $g$, and $V$ a locally integrable function. Let $ho:(hatM,hatg)o(M,g)$ be a Riemannian covering, with Laplacian $Delt{a}_{hatg}$ and potential $hatV=Vcircho$. If the operator $Delta+V$ is non-negative on $(M,g)$, then the operator $Delt{a}_{hatg}+hatV$ is non-negative on $(hatM,hatg)$. In this note, we show that the converse statement is true provided that $p{i}_1(hatM)$ is a co-amenable subgroup of $p{i}_1(M)$.
