Abstract

For a compact Riemannian manifold with boundary, its mass gap is the difference between the first and second smallest Dirichlet eigenvalues. In this paper, taking a variational approach, we obtain an explicit lower bound estimate of the mass gap for any compact manifold in terms of geometric quantities.
