In this paper the work of Berestycki, Nirenberg and Varadhan on the maximum principle and the principal eigenvalue for second order operators on general domains is extended to Riemannian manifolds. In particular it is proved that the refined maximum principle holds for a second order elliptic operat

Abstract
For eigenvalues of generalized Dirac operators on compact Riemannian manifolds, we obtain a general inequality. By using this inequality, we study eigenvalues of generalized Dirac operators on compact submanifolds of Euclidean spaces, of spheres, and of real, complex and quaternionic projective spaces. We obtain explicit bounds for the (k + 1)โth eigenvalue of generalized Dirac operators on such objects in terms of its first k eigenvalues, which depend on the mean curvature of the embedding and the curvature term in the BochnerโWeitzenbรถck formula for the square of the Dirac operator. These inequalities of eigenvalues extend the recent results in 15. ยฉ 2011 WILEYโVCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim

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
