    The study of extremal properties of the spectrum often involves restricting the metrics under consideration. Motivated by the work of Abreu and Freitas in the case of the sphere S-2 endowed with S-1-invariant metrics, we consider the subsequence lambda(G)(k) of the spectrum of a Riemannian manifold M which corresponds to metrics and functions invariant under the action of a compact Lie group G. If. G has dimension at least 1, we show that the functional lambda(G)(k) admits no extremal metric under volume-preserving G-invariant deforma- tions. If, moreover, M has dimension at least three, then the functional lambda(G)(k) is unbounded when restricted to any conformal class of G-invariant metrics of fixed volume. As a special case of this, we can consider the standard 0(n)-action on S-n; however, if we also require the metric to be induced by an embedding of S-n in Rn+1, we get an optimal upper bound on lambda(G)(k).

    Extremal eigenvalues of the Laplacian in a conformal class of metrics: The 'conformal spectrum'

    Let M be a compact connected manifold of dimension n endowed with a conformal class C of Riemannian metrics of volume one. For any integer k greater than or equal to 0, we consider the conformal invariant.c k( C) defined as the supremum of the k-th eigenvalue lambda(k)(g) of the Laplace-Beltrami operator Delta(g), where g runs over C. First, we give a sharp universal lower bound for lambda(k)(c)(C) extending to all k a result obtained by Friedlander and Nadirashvili for k = 1. Then, we show that the sequence {lambda(k)(c)(C)}, that we call 'conformal spectrum', is strictly increasing and satisfies, For Allk greater than or equal to 0, lambda(k+1)(c)(C)(n/2)-lambda(k)(c)(C)(n/2) greater than or equal to n(n/2) omega(n), where omega(n) is the volume of the n-dimensional standard sphere. When M is an orientable surface of genus gamma, we also consider the supremum zeta(k)(top) (gamma) of lambda(k)(g) over the set of all the area one Riemannian metrics on M, and study the behavior of lambda(k)(top)(gamma) in terms of gamma.
