Moreover if (Mn, g) is an oriented compact hypersurface of the Euclidean space Rn+1 or Sn+1, we prove an upper bound of ?1,p(M) in term of the largest principal curvature ? over M . As applications of these results we obtain optimal lower bounds of d(M) in term of the curvature. In particular we prove that if M is a hypersurface of Rn+1 then : d(M) ≥ pi/?.

Abstract Let ( M n , g ) be a compact Riemannian manifold without boundary. In this paper, we consider the first nonzero eigenvalue of the p -Laplacian λ 1 ,p ( M ) and we prove that the limit of p p λ 1 ,p ( M ) when p → ∞ is 2 /d ( M ) where d ( M ) is the diameter of M . Moreover if ( M n , g ) is an oriented compact hypersurface of the Euclidean space R n +1 or S n +1 , we prove an upper bound of λ 1 p ( M ) in term of the largest , principal curvature κ over M . As applications of these results we obtain optimal lower bounds of d ( M ) in term of the curvature. In particular we prove that if M is a hypersurface of R n +1 then : d ( M ) ≥ π/κ .
