In this paper we study the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions
of metric measure manifolds. We prove that any eigenfunction
is $C^{1,\alpha}$ at its critical points and $C^{\infty}$
elsewhere. Moreover, the eigenfunction corresponding to the
first eigenvalue in the Dirichlet problem does not change sign.
We also discuss the first eigenvalue, the Sobolev constants
and their relationship with the isoperimetric constants. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification:
