Schiffer problem and isoparametric hypersurfaces (Q5929436)

The author considers the generalization of the Schiffer problem to an arbitrary Riemannian manifold. He proves that if \(\Omega\) has a homogeneous boundary, then the problems (N) and (D) admit solutions (in fact, for infinitely many eigenvalues), but the converse statement is not always true. Further, he shows that in the case of domains with boundaries consisting of isoparametric hypersurfaces (D) the Schiffer conjectures fails.
