Abstract

This paper provides the optimal exponential decay rate of the lower bound for the first positive eigenvalue of the Laplacian operator on a compact Riemannian manifold with a negative lower bound on the Ricci curvature and with large diameter. For manifolds with boundary, suitable convexity conditions are assumed.
