MAXIMIZATION OF THE SECOND LAPLACIAN EIGENVALUE ON THE SPHERE
We prove a sharp isoperimetric inequality for the second nonzero eigenvalue of the Laplacian on Sm. For S2, the second nonzero eigenvalue becomes maximal as the surface degenerates to two disjoint spheres, by a result of Nadirashvili for which Petrides later gave another proof. For higher dimensiona...
