A sub-additive inequality for the volume spectrum

Differential Geometry 2020-06-23 v1

Abstract

Let (M,g)(M,g) be a closed Riemannian manifold and {ωp}p=1\{\omega_p\}_{p=1}^{\infty} be the volume spectrum of (M,g)(M,g). We will show that ωk+m+1ωk+ωm+W\omega_{k+m+1}\leq \omega_k+\omega_m+W for all k,m0k,m\geq 0, where ω0=0\omega_0=0 and WW is the one-parameter Almgren-Pitts width of (M,g)(M,g). We will also prove the similar inequality for the ε\varepsilon-phase-transition spectrum {cε(p)}p=1\{c_{\varepsilon}(p)\}_{p=1}^{\infty} using the Allen-Cahn approach.
