Abstract:
Let $M$ be a compact manifold. First, we give necessary and sufficient conditions for a Riemannian metric on $M$ to be extremal for $lambda_1$ with respect to conformal deformations of fixed volume. In particular, these conditions show that for any lattice $Gamma$ of $mathbb{R}^n$, the flat metric $g_{Gamma}$ induced on $mathbb{R}^n/Gamma$ from the standard metric of $mathbb{R}^n$ is extremal (in the previous sense). In the second part, we give, for any $Gamma$, an upper bound of $lambda_1$ on the conformal class of $g_{Gamma}$ and exhibit a class of lattices $Gamma$ for which the metric $g_{Gamma}$ maximizes $lambda_1$ on its conformal class.

Keywords:First eigenvalue of the Laplacian   extremal metrics   conformal classes   harmonic maps
