Study on second Robin eigenvalue for Laplacian on manifolds.

The present paper is a follow up of our paper \cite{nS}. We investigate here the maximization of higher order eigenvalues in a conformal class on a smooth compact boundaryless Riemannian surface. Contrary to the case of the first nontrivial eigenvalue as shown in \cite{nS}, bubbling phenomena appear.

We consider an optimization problem for the first Dirichlet eigenvalue of the $p$-Laplacian on a hypersurface in $\mathbb{R}^{2n}$, with $n \ge 2$. If $p \ge 2n-1$, then among hypersurfaces in $\mathbb{R}^{2n}$ which are $O(n) \times O(n)$-invariant and have one fixed boundary component, there is a surface which maximi…

This paper deals with eigenvalue optimization problems for a family of natural Schrödinger operators arising in some geometrical or physical contexts. These operators, whose potentials are quadratic in curvature, are considered on closed surfaces immersed in space forms and we look for geometries that maximize the eige…

We compute the Cheeger constants of a collection of hyperbolic surfaces corresponding to maximal non-compact arithmetic Fuchsian groups, and to subgroups which are the rotation subgroup of maximal reflection groups. The Cheeger constants are geometric quantities, but relate to the smallest eigenvalues of Maass cusp for…

We prove the existence of metrics maximizing the first eigenvalue normalized by area on closed, non-orientable surfaces assuming two spectral gap conditions. These spectral gap conditions are proved by the authors in \cite{MS3}.

We give a characterization of conformal classes realizing a compact manifold's Yamabe invariant. This characterization is the analogue of an observation of Nadirashvili for metrics realizing the maximal first eigenvalue, and of Fraser and Schoen for metrics realizing the maximal first Steklov eigenvalue.

In this paper, we settle in the affirmative the Jakobson-Levitin-Nadirashvili-Nigam-Polterovich conjecture, stating that a certain singular metric on the Bolza surface, with area normalized, should maximize the first eigenvalue of the Laplacian.

Maximizes eigenvalue of Jacobi operator on spheres.

Fix two parallel circles in $\mathbb{R}^3$ centered about a common axis. Among surfaces of revolution immersed in $\mathbb{R}^3$ whose boundary is given by these circles, there is one which maximizes the first Dirichlet eigenvalue. If the circles are sufficiently close together, then this surface is unique.

In this paper we obtain several results concerning the optimization of higher Steklov eigenvalues both in two and higher dimensional cases. We first show that the normalized (by boundary length) $k$-th Steklov eigenvalue on the disk is not maximized for a smooth metric on the disk for $k\geq 3$. For $k=1$ the classical…

The Dirichlet eigenvalues of the Laplace-Beltrami operator are larger on a flat disc than on any other surface of revoltuion immersed in Euclidean space with the same boundary.

In recent years, eigenvalue optimization problems have received a lot of attention, in particular, due to their connection with the theory of minimal surfaces. In the present paper we prove that on any orientable surface there exists a smooth metric maximizing the first normalized Steklov eigenvalue. For surfaces of ge…

We show that the ball does not maximize the first nonzero Steklov eigenvalue among all contractible domains of fixed boundary volume in $\mathbb{R}^n$ when $n \geq 3$. This is in contrast to the situation when $n=2$, where a result of Weinstock from 1954 shows that the disk uniquely maximizes the first Steklov eigenval…

In this paper we prove that given a volume, among all domains with smooth boundary in rank-1 symmetric spaces of noncompact type, geodesic balls maximizes the first nonzero Steklov eigenvalue. We also prove a comparison result for the first nonzero Steklov eigenvalue for domains in simply connected Riemannian manifolds…

We establish in this paper an upper bound on the second eigenvalue of n-dimensional spheres in the conformal class of the round sphere. This upper bound holds in all dimensions and is asymptotically sharp as the dimension increases.

Derives a formula for the second variation of the Laplace eigenvalue functional on manifolds.

In this article, it is proved that the eigenvalue variety of the exterior of a nontrivial, non-Hopf, Brunnian link in $\mathbb{S}^{3}$ contains a nontrivial component of maximal dimension. This generalises, for Brunnian links, the nontriviality of the $A$-polynomial of a nontrivial knot in $\mathbb{S}^{3}$.

We show that the first eigenvalue of a closed Riemannian surface normalized by the area can be strictly increased by attaching a cylinder or a cross cap. As a consequence we obtain the existence of maximizing metrics for the normalized first eigenvalue on any closed surface of fixed topological type. Since these metric…

El Soufi-Ilias' theorem establishes a connection between minimal submanifolds of spheres and extremal metrics for eigenvalues of the Laplace-Beltrami operator. Recently, this connection was used to provide several explicit examples of extremal metrics. We investigate the maximality of these metrics and prove that all o…
