Let B1 be a ball of radius R1 in RN with centre at the origin and let B0 be a smaller ball of radius R0 contained inside it. Let u be the solution of the problem −Δu = 1 in B1\B0 vanishing on the boundary. It is shown that is minimal if and only if the balls are concentric. It is also shown that the first (Dirichlet) eigenvalue of the Laplacian in B1\B0 is maximal if and only if the balls are concentric. Generalizations are indicated.

AbstractWe consider domains in a simply connected space of constant negative curvature and develop a new technique that improves existing classical lower bound for Dirichlet eigenvalues obtained by H. P. McKean as well as the lower bounds recently obtained by A. Savo.
