Abstract: We study the spectrum of complete noncompact manifolds with bounded curvature and positive injectivity radius. We give general conditions which imply that their essential spectrum has an arbitrarily large finite number of gaps. In particular, for any noncompact covering of a compact manifold, there is a metric on the base so that the lifted metric has an arbitrarily large finite number of gaps in its essential spectrum. Also, for any complete noncompact manifold with bounded curvature and positive injectivity radius we construct a metric uniformly equivalent to the given one (also of bounded curvature and positive injectivity radius) with an arbitrarily large finite number of gaps in its essential spectrum.

Review text

The authors prove that for a given positive integer number \(k\) and a compact manifold \(M\) with noncompact covering manifold \(\widetilde M\), there is a metric on \(M\) such that the lifted metric on \(\widetilde M\) has at least \(k\) gaps in its \(L^2\) essential spectrum.NEWLINENEWLINEThe second main result is (from the article): Let \((M,g_0)\) be a complete noncompact Riemannian manifold of bounded curvature and positive injectivity radius. Given any positive integer \(k\) there is a metric \(g\) on \(M\) such that \((M,g)\) has bounded curvature and positive injectivity radius, the eigenvalues of \(g\) with respect to \(g_0\) are bounded above and below by positive constants, and the \(L^2\) essential spectrum of \(g\) has at least \(k\) gaps.
