We construct and variationally characterize by a min-max procedureinvolving the Yang index a new sequence of eigenvalues of the$p$-Laplacian, and use the structure provided by this sequence toshow that the associated variational functional always has anontrivial critical group. As an application we obtain nontrivialsolutions for a class of $p$-superlinear problems.
