Abstract

We study the first positive eigenvalue λ^(p)₁ of the Laplacian on p-forms for oriented closed Riemannian manifolds. It is known that the inequality λ⁽¹⁾₁≤λ⁽⁰⁾₁ holds in general. In the present paper, a Riemannian manifold is said to have the gap if the strict inequality λ⁽¹⁾₁<λ⁽⁰⁾₁ holds. We show that any oriented closed manifold M with the first Betti number b₁(M)=0 whose dimension is bigger than two, admits two Riemannian metrics, the one with the gap and the other without the gap.
