Eigenvalue estimates for a class of elliptic differential operators in divergence form on Riemannian manifolds isometrically immersed in Euclidean space

Abstract

In this paper, we obtain eigenvalue estimates for a larger class of elliptic differential operators in divergence form on a bounded domain in a complete Riemannian manifold isometrically immersed in Euclidean space. As an application, we give eigenvalue estimates in the Gaussian shrinking soliton, and we find a domain that makes the behavior of these estimates similar to the estimates for the case of the Laplacian. Moreover, we also give an answer to the generalized conjecture of P\'olya.
