Eigenvalues of the drifted Laplacian on complete metric measure spaces

Publication date 21 December 2016

Abstract: I In this paper, first we study a complete smooth metric measure space

(M^{n}, g, e^{- f} d v)

with the (

i n f t y

)-Bakry-'Emery Ricci curvature

e x t r m {R i c}_{f} g e f r a c a 2 g

for some positive constant

a

. It is known that the spectrum of the drifted Laplacian

D e l t a_{f}

for

M

is discrete and the first nonzero eigenvalue of

D e l t a_{f}

has lower bound

f r a c a 2

. We prove that if the lower bound

f r a c a 2

is achieved with multiplicity

k g e q 1

, then

k l e q n

,

M

is isometric to

S i g m a^{n - k} i m e s m a t h b b R^{k}

for some complete

(n - k)

-dimensional manifold

S i g m a

and by passing an isometry,

(M^{n}, g, e^{- f} d v)

must split off a gradient shrinking Ricci soliton

(m a t h b b R^{k}, g_{c a n}, f r a c a 4 | t |^{2})

,

t i n m a t h b b R^{k}

. This result has an application to gradient shrinking Ricci solitons. Secondly, we study the drifted Laplacian

m a t h c a l L

for properly immersed self-shrinkers in the Euclidean space

m a t h b b R^{n + p}

,

p g e q 1

and show the discreteness of the spectrum of

m a t h c a l L

and a logarithmic Sobolev inequality.
