## Extrinsic estimates for eigenvalues of the Laplace operator.(English)Zbl 1147.35060

Summary: For a bounded domain in a complete Riemannian manifold $$M^n$$ isometrically immersed in an Euclidean space, we derive extrinsic estimates for eigenvalues of the Dirichlet eigenvalue problem of the Laplace operator, which depend on the mean curvature of the immersion. Further, we also obtain an upper bound for the $$(k+1)$$th eigenvalue, which is the best possible in the meaning of order on $$k$$.
