Spaces with Ricci curvature bounds.
We show that a bi-invariant metric on a compact connected Lie group is spectrally isolated within the class of left-invariant metrics. In fact, we prove that given a bi-invariant metric on there is a positive integer such that, within a neighborhood of in the class of left-invariant metrics of at most the same volume, is uniquely determined by the first distinct non-zero eigenvalues of its Laplacian (ignoring multiplicities). In the case where is simple, can be chosen to be two....
P. Bérard et D. Meyer ont démontré une inégalité du type Faber-Krahn pour les domaines d'une variété compacte à courbure de Ricci positive. Nous démontrons des résultats de stabilité associés à cette inégalité.
