Abstract: We study the spectrum of the Laplace operator of a complete minimal properly immersed hypersurface $M$ in $R^{n+1}$. (1) Under a volume growth condition on extrinsic balls and a condition on the unit normal at infinity, we prove that $M$ has only essential spectrum consisting of the half line $[0,+infty)$. This is the case when $li{m}_{ildero+infty}ilderkapp{a}_i=0$, where $ilder$ is the extrinsic distance to a point of $M$ and $kapp{a}_i$ are the principal curvatures. (2) If the $kapp{a}_i$ satisfy the decay conditions $|kapp{a}_i|leq1/ilder$, and strict inequality is achieved at some point $yinM$, then there are no eigenvalues. We apply these results to minimal graphic and multigraphic hypersurfaces.
