F Functional and the First Eigenvalue for Quasi-Einstein Metrics

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this paper, we deal with the monotonicity properties of the first eigenvalue of the Laplacian operator. Firstly, by using the monotonicity formula of the F functional, we derive a monotonicity formula of the first eigenvalue of the Laplacian operator. Based on this, we also prove an exponential decreasing property of the first eigenvalue.
