Abstract: |
This paper establishes a new Laplacian comparison
theorem which is specially useful to the manifolds of nonpositive curvature.
It leads naturally to the corresponding
heat kernel comparison and eigenvalue comparison theorems. Furthermore, a
lower estimate of $L^2$-spectrum of an $n$-dimensional non-compact complete Cartan-Hadamard
manifold is given by $(n-1)k/4$, provided its Ricci curvature $\le-(n-1)k$
$(k=\roman {const.}\ge 0)$. |
