Abstract

Let Br be an n-dimensional ball endowed with a rotationally invariant metric and with non-positive radial sectional curvatures. If is thefirst Steklov eigenvalue and h is the mean curvature on the boundary of the ball, we prove that h. Equality holds only when Br is the ball endowedwith the standard metric of Rn.
