Maximization of the first nontrivial eigenvalue on the surface of genus two

Differential Geometry 2014-08-12 v2 Spectral Theory

Abstract

The first nontrivial eigenvalue of the Laplacian can be considered as a functional on the space of all Riemannian metrics of unit volume on a fixed surface. In this paper we prove that for the surface of genus 2 the supremum of this functional is equal to 16π16\pi. This provides a positive answer to the conjecture by Jakobson, Levitin, Nadirashvili, Nigam and Polterovich.

This paper has been withdrawn by the author due to a crucial mistake in the equality $\sigma^2 = id$, which should be $\sigma^2 = T$
