Curvature bounds for the spectrum of closed Einstein spaces and Simon conjecture

Abstract: Let

(M^{n}, g)

be a closed connected Einstein space,

n = d i m M,

and

k a p p a_{0}

be the lower bound of the sectional curvature. In this paper, we prove Udo Simon conjecture: on closed Einstein spaces,

n g e q 3,

there is no eigenvalue

l a m b d a

such that

nkappa_{0} < lambda < 2(n + 1)kappa_{0},

and both bounds are the best possible.
