An extremal eigenvalue problem in K\"ahler geometry

Differential Geometry 2015-02-03 v2

Abstract

We study Laplace eigenvalues λk\lambda_k on K\"ahler manifolds as functionals on the space of K\"ahler metrics with cohomologous K\"ahler forms. We introduce a natural notion of a λk\lambda_k-extremal K\"ahler metric and obtain necessary and sufficient conditions for it. A particular attention is paid to the λ1\lambda_1-extremal properties of K\"ahler-Einstein metrics of positive scalar curvature on manifolds with non-trivial holomorphic vector fields.
