Abstract: We study the variational problem ${\displaystyle }$inf {lambda_k(Omega): Omega extup{open in} R^m, |Omega| < infty, h(partial Omega) le 1 },${\displaystyle }$ where $lambd{a}_k(Omega)$ is the $k$'th eigenvalue of the Dirichlet Laplacian acting in $L^2(Omega)$, $h(partialOmega)$ is the $(m-1)$- dimensional Hausdorff measure of the boundary of $Omega$, and $|Omega|$ is the Lebesgue measure of $Omega$. If $m=2$, and $k=2,3,cdots$, then there exists a convex minimiser $Omeg{a}_{2,k}$. If $mge2$, and if $Omeg{a}_{m,k}$ is a minimiser, then $Omeg{a}_{m,k}^{\ast }:=extupint(overlineOmeg{a}_{m,k})$ is also a minimiser, and $R^{m}setminusOmeg{a}_{m,k}^{\ast }$ is connected. Upper bounds are obtained for the number of components of $Omeg{a}_{m,k}$. It is shown that if $mge3$, and $klem+1$ then $Omeg{a}_{m,k}$ has at most $4$ components. Furthermore $Omeg{a}_{m,k}$ is connected in the following cases : (i) $mge2,k=2,$ (ii) $m=3,4,5,$ and $k=3,4,$ (iii) $m=4,5,$ and $k=5,$ (iv) $m=5$ and $k=6$. Finally, upper bounds on the number of components are obtained for minimisers for other constraints such as the Lebesgue measure and the torsional rigidity.
