More precisely, let \\(f\\) be a real valued analytic function on the sphere \\(S^{n + 1}\\) and let \\(V_t = f^{-1} (t)\\) be a regular value. Let \\(t_0\\) be a critical value. Let \\(\\lambda_1 (V_t) > 0\\) be the first eigenvalue of the Laplacian.   Theorem: There exist constants (independent of \\(t\\) and \\(t_0)\\), \\(C = C(f) > 0\\) and \\(\\alpha = \\alpha (f)\\) so that \\(\\lambda_1 (V_t) \\geq C |t - t_0 |^\\alpha\\) as \\(t \\to t_0\\).   In the case that \\(f\\) is a polynomial, this was established first by Gromov. However, the extension to the real analytic setting is useful to study the local solvability of a system of vector fields in order to obtain appropriate bounds on the Green's function."},"provenance":{"prov:generatedAtTime":"2025-07-25T13:15:42Z","prov:wasAttributedTo":"MaRDI Knowledge Graph"}}
