Isoperimetric inequality for the third eigenvalue of the Laplace–Beltrami operator on $\mathbb{S}^2$
Nikolai Nadirashvili and Yannick Sire
Abstract
We prove Hersch’s type isoperimetric inequality for the third positive eigenvalue on $\mathbb{S}^2$. Our method builds on the theory we developed to construct extremal metrics on Riemannian surfaces in conformal classes for any eigenvalue.
