Differential Geometry 2024-09-24 v1

Abstract

An embedded free boundary minimal surface in the 3-ball has a Steklov eigenvalue of one due to its coordinate functions. Fraser and Li conjectured that whether one is the first nonzero Steklov eigenvalue. In this paper, we show that if an embedded free boundary minimal surface of genus zero, with nn boundary components, in the 3-ball has nn distinct reflection planes, then one is the first eigenvalue of the surface.
