The fundamental gap of a domain is the difference between the first two eigenvalues of the Laplace operator. In a series of recent and celebrated works, it was shown that for convex domains in $\mathbb R^n$ and $\mathbb S^n$ with Dirichlet…

Let $(M^{n}, g)$ be a closed connected Einstein space, $n=dim M ,$ and $\kappa_{0} $ be the lower bound of the sectional curvature. In this paper, we prove Udo Simon's conjecture: on closed Einstein spaces, $n\geq 3,$ there is no eigenvalue…
