Abstract

This project aims to study certain eigenvalue optimisation problems in Riemannian manifolds. Firstly, we would like to prove the existence of extremal domains for the first eigenvalue of the Laplacian in complete, noncompact and geometrically bounded manifolds. Secondly, we intend to show that the presence of symmetries in a manifold prevents the existence of extremal metrics which are invariant by such symmetries. (AU)
