Abstract
Given a strongly local, regular and irreducible Dirichlet form , we prove a version of Persson’s theorem concerning the variational characterization of the bottom of the essential spectrum of the generator of . Such a result is then used to prove -exponential decay of the "small eigenfunctions" of .
