In this paper, we study the principal eigenvalue μ(F−k ,E) of the fully nonlinear operator F−k [u] = P−k (∇2u)−h|∇u| on a set E ⋐ Rn, where h ∈ [0,∞) and P−k (∇2u) is the sum of the smallest k eigenvalues of the Hessian ∇2u. We prove a lower estimate for μ(F−k ,E) in terms of a generalized Hausdorff measure HΨ(E), for suitable Ψ depending on k, moving some steps towards the conjecturally sharp estimate μ(F− k ,E) ≥ CH k(E)−2/k. The theorem is used to study the spectrum of bounded submanifolds in Rn, improving on our previous work in the direction of a question posed by S.T. Yau. In particular, the result applies to solutions of Plateau’s problem for CMC surfaces.

Abstract
In this paper, we study the principal eigenvalue μ(F−k ,E) of the fully nonlinear operator F−k [u] = P−k (∇2u)−h|∇u| on a set E ⋐ Rn, where h ∈ [0,∞) and P−k (∇2u) is the sum of the smallest k eigenvalues of the Hessian ∇2u. We prove a lower estimate for μ(F−k ,E) in terms of a generalized Hausdorff measure HΨ(E), for suitable Ψ depending on k, moving some steps towards the conjecturally sharp estimate μ(F− k ,E) ≥ CH k(E)−2/k. The theorem is used to study the spectrum of bounded submanifolds in Rn, improving on our previous work in the direction of a question posed by S.T. Yau. In particular, the result applies to solutions of Plateau’s problem for CMC surfaces.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
