An Overdetermined Steklov Eigenvalue Problem on Riemannian Manifolds with Nonnegative Ricci Curvature

초록

We consider an overdetermined Steklov eigenvalue problem on a domain in a Riemannian manifold with nonnegative Ricci curvature. We prove that, given a compact connected domain Ω with nonnegative Gaussian curvature with C2 boundary, if the first Steklov eigenfunction is a solution to the overdetermined problem, then the domain Ω is flat and the boundary ∂Ω consists of geodesics or geodesic circles. This can be regarded as a generalization of the result by Payne-Philippin [21], where they assumed that Ω is a simply-connected domain in R2. We also obtain a similar result for the same overdetermined problem on a higher-dimensional compact connected manifold with C2 boundary with nonnegative Ricci curvature.
