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…

In Euclidean and Hyperbolic space, and the hemisphere in $S^n$, geodesic balls maximize the gap $\lambda_2 - \lambda_1$ of Dirichlet eigenvalues, amoung domains with fixed $\lambda_1$. We prove an upper bound on $\lambda_2 - \lambda_1$ for…

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…

Comparing Neumann and Dirichlet eigenvalues of the Laplacian on a bounded domain $\Omega\subseteq\Rbb^n$ is a topic that goes back at least to the work of P\'olya \cite{polya}. We study the effect of the isoperimetric ratio of $\Omega$ on…

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…

In this paper, we study lower bounds for higher eigenvalues of the Dirichlet eigenvalue problem of the Laplacian on a bounded domain $\Omega$ in $\mathbb{R}^n$. It is well known that the $k$-th Dirichlet eigenvalue $\lambda_k$ obeys the…

In this paper, we deal with the Steklov-Dirichlet eigenvalue problem for the Laplacian in annular domains. More precisely, we consider $\Omega_r = \Omega_0 \setminus \overline{B}_r$, where $\Omega_0 \subset \mathbb{R}^n$, $n \geq 2$, is an…
