Abstract

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