We prove that the Weinstock inequality for the first nonzero Steklov eigenvalue holds in $\mathbb{R}^n$, for $n\ge 3$, in the class of convex sets with prescribed surface area. The key result is a sharp isoperimetric inequality involving…

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…

For a bounded Lipschitz domain $\Sigma$ in a Riemannian surface $M$ satisfying certain curvature condition, we prove that $$\mu_{3-\beta_1} \leq \lambda_{1},$$ where $\mu_k$ ($\lambda_k$ resp.) is the $k$-th Neumann (Dirichlet resp.)…
