Degenerating hyperbolic surfaces and spectral gaps for large genus

Yunhui Wu, Haohao Zhang and Xuwen Zhu

Vol. 17 (2024), No. 4, 1377–1395
Abstract

We study the differences of two consecutive eigenvalues λi λi1, i up to 2g 2, for the Laplacian on hyperbolic surfaces of genus g, and show that the supremum of such spectral gaps over the moduli space has infimum limit at least 1 4 as the genus goes to infinity. A min-max principle for eigenvalues on degenerating hyperbolic surfaces is also established.

Keywords
spectral gaps, min-max principle, large genus
