Funano and Shioya's dimension-free eigenvalue ratio conjecture for Alexandrov spaces

About 12 years old · traced to

Let XX be a compact finite-dimensional Alexandrov space of nonnegative curvature, and let λk(X)\lambda_k(X) denote the kk-th non-zero eigenvalue of the corresponding Laplacian on XX.

Funano and Shioya's conjecture. For every natural number kk, there exists a positive constant CkC_k depending only on kk such that

λk(X)≤Ckλ1(X).\lambda_k(X)\leq C_k\lambda_1(X).

This conjecture seeks a dimension-free bound for ratios of Laplacian eigenvalues on Alexandrov spaces, extending the corresponding estimate known for closed weighted Riemannian manifolds. The source does not provide evidence of a resolution.
