Dirichlet spectrum and Green function

Abstract

In the first part of this article we obtain an identity relating the radial spectrum of rotationally invariant geodesic balls and an isoperimetric quotient $\sum 1/λ_{i}^{\rm rad}=\int V(s)/S(s)ds$. We also obtain upper and lower estimates for the series $\sum λ_{i}^{-2}(Ω)$ where $Ω$ is an extrinsic ball of a proper minimal surface of $\mathbb{R}^{3}$. In the second part we show that the first eigenvalue of bounded domains is given by iteration of the Green operator and taking the limit, $λ_{1}(Ω)=\lim_{k\to \infty} \Vert G^k(f)\Vert_{2}/\Vert G^{k+1}(f)\Vert_{2}$ for any function $f>0$. In the third part we obtain explicitly the $L^{1}(Ω, μ)$-momentum spectrum of a bounded domain $Ω$ in terms of its Green operator. In particular, we obtain the first eigenvalue of a weighted bounded domain in terms of the $L^{1}(Ω, μ)$-momentum spectrum, extending the work of Hurtado-Markvorsen-Palmer on the first eigenvalue of rotationally invariant balls.
