Abstract: Let (M,g) be a compact Riemannian manifold of dimension >=3. We show that there are metrics g' conformal to g and of volume 1 such that the first positive eigenvalue the conformal Laplacian is arbitrarily large. A similar statement is proven for the first positive eigenvalue of the Dirac operator on a spin manifold of dimension >=2.
Keywords: Dirac operator, conformal Laplacian, conformal eigenvalues, conformally covariant operators.
