## Abstract We study the asymptotic behavior of the eigenvalues and the eigenfunctions of the Laplace–Beltrami operator on a Riemannian manifold __M__^ε^ depending on a small parameter ε>0 and whose structure becomes complicated as ε→0. Under a few assumptions on scales of __M__^ε^ we obtain the ho

Abstract
Let M be a compact smooth manifold of dimension n ⩾ 2. We investigate critical metrics of the Laplacian eigenvalue gaps considered as functionals on the space of Riemannian metrics or a conformal class of metrics on M. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for a metric to be critical for such a functional. © 2011 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim

## Abstract We explicitely compute the absolutely continuous spectrum of the Laplace–Beltrami operator for __p__ ‐forms for the class of warped product metrics __dσ__ ^2^ = __y__ ^2__a__^ __dy__ ^2^ + __y__ ^2__b__^ __dθ__ ^2^, where __y__ is a boundary defining function on the unit ball __B__ (0,
This paper is devoted to a general min-max characterization of the eigenvalues in a gap of the essential spectrum of a self-adjoint unbounded operator. We prove an abstract theorem, then we apply it to the case of Dirac operators with a Coulomb-like potential. The result is optimal for the Coulomb p
