Abstract

In this paper we construct, for given any small positive number ϵ\epsilon and given natural number nn, and given any closed hyperbolic surface MM, a closed hyperbolic covering surface M~\widetilde{M}, such that its nn-th eigenvalue is less than ϵ\epsilon. An application of this result will also be discussed. The main result follows from the techniques used in B.Randol's paper in 1974 [Ran]. Here I give a new and geometric proof of the main result.
