Abstract
We study the spectrum of the Laplace–Beltrami operator on ellipsoids. For ellipsoids that are close to the sphere, we use analytic perturbation theory to estimate the eigenvalues up to two orders. We show that for biaxial ellipsoids sufficiently close to the sphere, the first $L^2$ eigenvalues have multiplicity at most two, and characterize those that are simple. For the triaxial ellipsoids sufficiently close to the sphere that are not biaxial, we show that at least the first 16 eigenvalues are all simple. We also give the results of various numerical experiments, including comparisons to our results from the analytic perturbation theory, and approximations for the eigenvalues of ellipsoids that degenerate into infinite cylinders or two-dimensional disks. We propose a conjecture on the exact number of nodal domains of near-sphere ellipsoids.
