We obtain an essential spectral gap for a convex co-compact hyperbolic surface $M=\Gamma\backslash\mathbb H^2$ which depends only on the dimension $\delta$ of the limit set. More precisely, we show that when $\delta>0$ there exists…

Suppose that $\Sigma^n\subset\mathbb{S}^{n+1}$ is a closed embedded minimal hypersurface. We prove that the first non-zero eigenvalue $\lambda_1$ of the induced Laplace-Beltrami operator on $\Sigma$ satisfies $\lambda_1 \geq \frac{n}{2}+…
