Steklov eigenvalues on annulus

Abstract

We obtain supremum of the k-th normalized Steklov eigenvalues of all rotational symmetric conformal metrics on the cylinder with k>1. The case k=1 for all conformal metrics has been completely solved by Fraser and Schoen. We give geometric description in terms of minimal surfaces for metrics attaining the supremum. We also obtain some partial results on the comparison of the normalized Stekov eigenvalues of rotationally symmetric metrics and general conformal metrics on the cylinder. A counter example is constructed to show that for that the first normalized Steklov eigenvalue of rotationally symmetric metric may not be larger.
