Wang–Xia's conjecture on the first Steklov eigenvalue
Let , with , be a connected compact smooth Riemannian manifold with boundary. Assume that and that the principal curvatures of the boundary are bounded below by a constant . Denote by the first nonzero eigenvalue of the Laplacian of . Let be the first nonzero Steklov eigenvalue.
Wang–Xia's conjecture. The eigenvalue satisfies
with equality only for the Euclidean ball of radius .
This conjecture was stated by Qiaoling Wang and Changyu Xia and is verified in the paper for warped product manifolds when and . Its status in the generality stated above is not resolved by the supplied source.
