%0 Journal Article %T Isoperimetric inequality for the third eigenvalue of the Laplace-Beltrami operator on $\mathbb S^2$ %A Nikolai Nadirashvili %A Yannick Sire %J Mathematics %D 2015 %I arXiv %X We prove an Hersch's type isoperimetric inequality for the third positive eigenvalue on $\mathbb S^2$. Our method builds on the theory we developped to construct extremal metrics on Riemannian surfaces in conformal classes for any eigenvalue. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/1506.07017v3
