Abstract
In this paper we construct, for given any small positive number and given natural number , and given any closed hyperbolic surface , a closed hyperbolic covering surface , such that its -th eigenvalue is less than . 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.
