Abstract

Let Δφ=Δφ\Delta_\varphi = \Delta -\nabla \varphi \nabla be a symmetric diffusion operator with an invariant weighted volume measure dμ=eφdvd\mu = e^{-\varphi} dv on an nn-dimensional compact Riemannian manifold (M,g)(M,g), where g=g(t)g=g(t) solves the extended Ricci flow. In this article we study the evolution and monotonicty of the first nonzero eigenvalue of Δφ\Delta_\varphi and we obatin several monotone quantities along the extended Ricci flow and its volume preserving version under some technical assumption. We also show that the eigenvalues diverge in a finite time for the case n3n\geq 3. Our results are natural extension of some known results for Laplace-Beltrami operator under various geometric flows.
