Sharp eigenvalue estimates on degenerating surfaces

We consider the first non-zero eigenvalue λ1 of the Laplacian on hyperbolic surfaces for which one disconnecting collar degenerates and prove that 8π∇ log(λ1) essentially agrees with the dual of the differential of the degenerating Fenchel-Nielsen length coordinate. As a consequence, we can improve...
