Abstract. Let (M,g) be an n-dimensional compact Riemannian manifold whose metric g(t) evolves by the generalised abstract geometric flow. This paper discusses the variation formulas, monotonicity and differentiability for the first eigenvalue of the p-Laplacian on (M,g(t)). It is shown that the first nonzero eigenvalue is monotonically nondecreasing along the flow under certain geometric conditions and that it is differentiable almost everywhere. These results provide a unified approach to the study of eigenvalue variations and applications under many geometric flows.
