Abstract

Let M\mathbb{M} denote a complete, simply connected Riemannian manifold with sectional curvature KMkK_{\mathbb{M}} \leq k and Ricci curvature RicM(n1)K\text{Ric}_{\mathbb{M}} \geq (n-1)K, where k,KRk,K \in \mathbb{R}. Then for a bounded domain ΩM\Omega \subset\mathbb{M} with smooth boundary, we prove that the first nonzero Neumann eigenvalue μ1(Ω)Cμ1(Bk(R))\mu_{1}(\Omega) \leq \mathcal{C} \mu_{1}(B_{k}(R)). Here Bk(R)B_{k}(R) is a geodesic ball of radius R>0R > 0 in the simply connected space form Mk\mathbb{M}_{k} such that vol(Ω)(\Omega) = vol(Bk(R))(B_{k}(R)), and C\mathcal{C} is a constant which depends on the volume, diameter of Ω\Omega and the dimension of M\mathbb{M}.
