Abstract

Let (M2,g0)(M^{2},g_{0}) be a compact manifold with boundary, and let gg and g0g_{0} be conformally related by g=e2fg0g=e^{2f}g_{0}. We show that the inequality ν1(g)(maxxMef(x))ν1(g0)\nu_{1}(g)\geq\Big(\max_{x\in\partial M}e^{-f(x)}\Big)\nu_{1}(g_{0}) stated in Proposition 2 in [1], is only possible when the equality is achieved. In order to achieve such equality, it is required that the function ff be constant on M\partial M, as it is mentioned in Remark 3 also in [1]. Hence, the scope of this inequality is less broad than the one suggested by the Proposition.
