We consider the relationship of the geometry of compact Riemannian manifolds with boundary to the first nonzero eigenvalue sigma_1 of the Dirichlet-to-Neumann map (Steklov eigenvalue). For surfaces Sigma with genus gamma and k boundary…
We show that the ball does not maximize the first nonzero Steklov eigenvalue among all contractible domains of fixed boundary volume in $\mathbb{R}^n$ when $n \geq 3$. This is in contrast to the situation when $n=2$, where a result of…
We show that metrics that maximize the k-th Steklov eigenvalue on surfaces with boundary arise from free boundary minimal surfaces in the unit ball. We prove several properties of the volumes of these minimal submanifolds. For free boundary…
We show that for compact Riemannian manifolds of dimension at least $3$ with nonempty boundary, we can modify the manifold by performing surgeries of codimension $2$ or higher, while keeping the Steklov spectrum nearly unchanged. This shows…
We study the optimization of Steklov eigenvalues with respect to a boundary density function $\rho$ on a bounded Lipschitz domain $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^N$. We investigate the minimization and maximization of $\lambda_k(\rho)$, the…
In this note, we investigate the Steklov spectrum of the warped product $[0,L]\times_h \Sigma$ equipped with the metric $dt^2+h(t)^2g_\Sigma$, where $\Sigma$ is a compact surface. We find sharp upper bounds for the Steklov eigenvalues in…
In recent years, eigenvalue optimization problems have received a lot of attention, in particular, due to their connection with the theory of minimal surfaces. In the present paper we prove that on any orientable surface there exists a…
We give results on optimal constants of isoperimetric inequalities involving Steklov eigenvalues on surfaces with boundary. We both consider this question on Riemannian surfaces with a same given topology or more specifically belonging to…
This work deals with theoretical and numerical aspects related to the behavior of the Steklov-Lam\'e eigenvalues on variable domains. After establishing the eigenstructure for the disk, we prove that for a certain class of Lam\'e…
In this paper, we address the problem of maximizing the Steklov eigenvalues with a diameter constraint. We provide an estimate of the Steklov eigenvalues for a convex domain in terms of its diameter and volume and we show the existence of…
We study the geometry of the first two eigenvalues of a magnetic Steklov problem on an annulus $\Sigma$ (a compact Riemannian surface with genus zero and two boundary components), the magnetic potential being the harmonic one-form having…
We prove two upper bounds for the Steklov eigenvalues of a compact Riemannian manifold with boundary. The first involves the volume of the manifold and of its boundary, as well as packing and volume growth constants of the boundary and its…
In the first part, we derive monotonicity of the normalized spectra for the second-order Steklov problem and two fourth-order Steklov problems on the $2$-dimensional geodesic disks with respect to the geodesic radius in the sphere and the…
In the present paper, we study sharp isoperimetric inequalities for the first Steklov eigenvalue $\sigma_1$ on surfaces with fixed genus and large number $k$ of boundary components. We show that as $k\to \infty$ the free boundary minimal…
Recently, D. Bucur and M. Nahon used boundary homogenisation to show the remarkable flexibility of Steklov eigenvalues of planar domains. In the present paper we extend their result to higher dimensions and to arbitrary manifolds with…
We present a unified description of extremal metrics for the Laplace and Steklov eigenvalues on manifolds of arbitrary dimension using the notion of $n$-harmonic maps. Our approach extends the well-known results linking extremal metrics for…
We prove existence and regularity of metrics on a surface with boundary which maximize sigma_1 L where sigma_1 is the first nonzero Steklov eigenvalue and L the boundary length. We show that such metrics arise as the induced metrics on free…
In the present paper, we study the variational properties of Steklov transmission eigenvalues, which can be seen as eigenvalues of the sum of two Dirichlet-to-Neumann operators on two different sides of a given curve contained in a surface.…
Given a compact surface with boundary, we introduce a family of functionals on the space of its Riemannian metrics, defined via eigenvalues of a Steklov-type problem. We prove that each such functional is uniformly bounded from above, and…
We consider three different questions related to the Steklov and mixed Steklov problems on surfaces. These questions are connected by the techniques that we use to study them, which exploit symmetry in various ways even though the surfaces…
