For a domain $\Omega$ contained in a hemisphere of the $n$-dimensional sphere $\SS^n$ we prove the optimal result $\lambda_2/\lambda_1(\Omega) \le \lambda_2/\lambda_1(\Omega^{\star})$ for the ratio of its first two Dirichlet eigenvalues…

Let $\Omega$ be some domain in the hyperbolic space $\Hn$ (with $n\ge 2$) and $S_1$ the geodesic ball that has the same first Dirichlet eigenvalue as $\Omega$. We prove the Payne-P\'olya-Weinberger conjecture for $\Hn$, i.e., that the…

In this paper, we show that the convex domains of the hyperbolic space which are almost extremal for the Faber-Krahn or the Payne-Polya-Weinberger inequalities are close to geodesic balls. Our proof is also valid in other space forms and…

In this paper, we proved that for a bounded Hopf-symmetric domain $\Omega$ in a noncompact rank one symmetric space $M$, the second Dirichlet eigenvalue $\lambda_2 (\Omega) \leq \lambda_2 (B_1)$ where $B_1$ is a geodesic ball in $M$ such…

In constant curvatures spaces, there are a lot of characterizations of geodesic balls as optimal domain for shape optimization problems. Although it is natural to expect similar characterizations in rank one symmetric spaces, very few is…

In this paper, we use a weighted isoperimetric inequality to give a lower bound on the first Dirichlet eigenvalue of the Laplacian on a bounded domain inside a Euclidean cone. Our bound is sharp, in that only sectors realize it. This result…

We show that the third eigenvalue of the Neumann Laplacian in hyperbolic space is maximal for the disjoint union of two geodesic balls, among domains of given volume. This extends a recent result by Bucur and Henrot in Euclidean space,…

We prove some sharp isoperimetric type inequalities for domains with smooth boundary on Riemannian manifolds. For example, using generalized convexity, we show that among all domains with a lower bound $l$ for the cut distance and Ricci…

We study the Dirichlet spectrum of the Laplace operator on geodesic balls centred at a pole of spherically symmetric manifolds. We first derive a Hadamard--type formula for the dependence of the first eigenvalue $\lambda_{1}$ on the radius…

For a geodesic ball with non-negative Ricci curvature and mean convex boundary, it is known that the first Dirichlet eigenvalue of this geodesic ball has a sharp lower bound in term of its radius. We show a quantitative explicit inequality,…

In this note we prove an analogue of the Rayleigh-Faber-Krahn inequality, that is, that the geodesic ball is a maximiser of the first eigenvalue of some convolution type integral operators, on the sphere $\mathbb{S}^{n}$ and on the real…

In this paper we prove that given a volume, among all domains with smooth boundary in rank-1 symmetric spaces of noncompact type, geodesic balls maximizes the first nonzero Steklov eigenvalue. We also prove a comparison result for the first…

Let $(M^n,g)$ be a complete simply connected $n$-dimensional Riemannian manifold with curvature bounds $\operatorname{Sect}_g\leq \kappa$ for $\kappa\leq 0$ and $\operatorname{Ric}_g\geq(n-1)Kg$ for $K\leq 0$. We prove that for any bounded…
