Extremal domains for the first eigenvalue of the laplace-beltrami operator

Frank Pacard, Pieralberto Sicbaldi

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

We prove the existence of extremal domains with small prescribed volume for the first eigenvalue of Laplace-Beltrami operator in some Rie- mannian manifold. These domains are close to geodesic spheres of small radius centered at a nondegenerate critical point of the scalar curvature.
