On Dirichlet eigenvalues of regular polygons

Abstract: We prove that the first Dirichlet eigenvalue of a regular

N

-gon of area

p i

has an asymptotic expansion of the form

l a m b d a_{1} (1 + s u m_{n g e 3} C_{n} (l a m b d a_{1}) N^{- n})

as

N o i n f t y

, where

l a m b d a_{1}

is the first Dirichlet eigenvalue of the unit disk and

C_{n}

are polynomials whose coefficients belong to the space of multiple zeta values of weight

n

. We also explicitly compute these polynomials for all

n l e 14

.
