On Gromov's theorem and L 2-Hodge decomposition

Using a functional inequality, the essential spectrum and eigenvalues are estimated for Laplace-type operators on Riemannian vector bundles. Consequently, explicit upper bounds are obtained for the dimension of the corresponding L 2-harmonic sections. In particular, some known results concerning Gro...
