Abstract

Let $M$ be an $n$-dimensional complete simply connected Riemannian manifold with nonpositive sectional curvature for $n = 2,3$ and $4$. We prove the following Faber-Krahn type inequality for the first eigenvalue $\lambda _{1}$ of the mixed boundary problem. A domain $\Omega$ outside a closed convex subset $C$ in $M$ satisfies \[ \lambda _{1}(\Omega )\geq \lambda _{1}(\Omega ^{*}) \] with equality if and only if $\Omega$ is isometric to the half ball $\Omega$ in $\mathbb{R}_{n}$, whose volume is equal to that of $\Omega$. We also prove the Sobolev type inequality outside a closed convex set $C$ in $M$.
