Abstract: We consider the Steklov zeta function zeta Omega of a smooth bounded simply connected planar domain Omega subset R 2 of perimeter 2pi. We provide a first variation formula for zeta Omega under a smooth deformation of the domain. On the base of the formula, we prove that, for every s in (--1, 0) cup (0, 1), the difference zeta Omega (s) -- 2zeta R (s) is non-negative and is equal to zero if and only if Omega is a round disk (zeta R is the classical Riemann zeta function). Our approach gives also an alternative proof of the inequality zeta Omega (s) -- 2zeta R (s) ge 0 for s in (--infty, --1] cup (1, infty); the latter fact was proved in our previous paper [2018] in a different way. We also provide an alternative proof of the equality zeta Omega (0) = 2zeta R (0) obtained by Edward and Wu [1991].
