Abstract
Let be some domain in the hyperbolic space (with ) and the geodesic ball that has the same first Dirichlet eigenvalue as . We prove the Payne-P\'olya-Weinberger conjecture for , i.e., that the second Dirichlet eigenvalue on is smaller or equal than the second Dirichlet eigenvalue on . We also prove that the ratio of the first two eigenvalues on geodesic balls is a decreasing function of the radius.
