The lower bound of the Ricci curvature that yields an infinite discrete spectrum of the Laplacian
Annales de l'Institut Fourier, Volume 61 (2011) no. 4, pp. 1557-1572.

This paper discusses the question whether the discrete spectrum of the Laplace-Beltrami operator is infinite or finite. The borderline-behavior of the curvatures for this problem will be completely determined.

Ce document traite de la question si le spectre discret de l’opérateur de Laplace-Beltrami est infini ou fini. La ligne de démarcation du comportement des courbures de ce problème sera complètement déterminée.
