TY - JOUR A1 - Keller, Matthias A1 - Liu, Shiping A1 - Peyerimhoff, Norbert T1 - A note on eigenvalue bounds for non-compact manifolds T2 - Mathematische Nachrichten N2 - In this article we prove upper bounds for the Laplace eigenvalues lambda(k) below the essential spectrum for strictly negatively curved Cartan-Hadamard manifolds. Our bound is given in terms of k(2) and specific geometric data of the manifold. This applies also to the particular case of non-compact manifolds whose sectional curvature tends to -infinity, where no essential spectrum is present due to a theorem of Donnelly/Li. The result stands in clear contrast to Laplacians on graphs where such a bound fails to be true in general.
