Abstract
In this paper, we first derive a monotonicity formula for the first eigenvalue of \({-\Delta +aR (0 < a \leq 1/2)}\) on a closed surface with nonnegative scalar curvature under the (unnormalized) Ricci flow. We then derive a general evolution formula for the first eigenvalue under the normalized Ricci flow. As an application, we obtain various monotonicity formulae and estimates for the first eigenvalue on closed surfaces.
