Collapsing and the Differential Form Laplacian : The Case of a Smooth Limit Space

Differential Geometry 2007-05-23 v5

Abstract

We analyze the limit of the p-form Laplacian under a collapse, with bounded sectional curvature and bounded diameter, to a smooth limit space. As an application, we characterize when the p-form Laplacian has small positive eigenvalues in a collapsing sequence.
