Inequalities between Dirichlet and Neumann eigenvalues on Carnot groups

Abstract

We show that the jj-th Dirichlet eigenvalue of the sub-Laplacian on an open set of a Carnot group is greater than the (j+1)(j+1)-st Neumann eigenvalue. This extends earlier results in the Euclidean and Heisenberg case and has a remarkably simple proof.
