Abstract:

The perturbation theory of the Laplace spectrum of hyperbolic surfaces with conical singularities belonging to a fixed conformal class is developed. As an application, it is shown that the generic such surface with cusps has no Maass cusp forms (${L^2}$ eigenfunctions) under specific eigenvalue multiplicity assumptions. It is also shown that eigenvalues depend monotonically on the cone angles. From this, one obtains Neumann eigenvalue monotonicity for geodesic triangles in ${{\mathbf {H}}^2}$ and a lower bound of $\frac {1}{2}{\pi ^2}$ for the eigenvalues of ‘odd’ Maass cusp forms associated to Hecke triangle groups.
