On a fairly general class of Riemannian manifolds M, we prove lower estimates in terms of the Ricci curvature for the spectral bound (when M has infinite volume) and for the spectral gap (when M has finite volume) for the Laplace-Beltrami operator. As a byproduct of our results we obtain an extension of the Bonnet-Myers theorem on the compactness of the manifold. We also prove lower bounds for the spectral gap for Ornstein-Uhlenbeck type operators on weighted manifolds. As an application we prove lower bounds for the spectral gap of perturbations of some radial measures on R n .< Réduire
