Abstract

In this article, we find sufficient conditions on an open Riemannian manifold so that a Weyl criterion holds for the LpL^p-spectrum of the Laplacian on kk-forms, and also prove the decomposition of the LpL^p-spectrum depending on the order of the forms. We then show that the resolvent set of an operator such as the Laplacian on LpL^p lies outside a parabola whenever the volume of the manifold has an exponential volume growth rate, removing the requirement on the manifold to be of bounded geometry. We conclude by providing a detailed description of the LpL^p spectrum of the Laplacian on kk-forms over hyperbolic space.
