Abstract
We study the eigenvalues of the Laplacian on ellipsoids that are obtained as perturbations of the standard Euclidean unit sphere in dimension two. A comparison of these eigenvalues with those of the standard Euclidean unit sphere is obtained under a Gaussian curvature condition, in line with the Lichnerowicz theorem on the first positive eigenvalue on a compact Riemannian manifold.
