Abstract

We give results on optimal constants of isoperimetric inequalities involving Steklov eigenvalues on surfaces with boundary. We both consider this question on Riemannian surfaces with a same given topology or more specifically belonging to the same conformal class. We provide new examples of topological disks that realize optimal constants. We prove inequalities that relate conformal invariants associated to combinations of Steklov eigenvalues on a compact Riemannian surface with boundary and the ones on the disk. In the appendix, we show rigidity of the first conformal Steklov eigenvalue on annuli and M\"obius bands.
