Abstract: In this paper we obtain several results concerning the optimization of higher Steklov eigenvalues both in two and higher dimensional cases. We first show that the normalized (by boundary length) $k$-th Steklov eigenvalue on the disk is not maximized for a smooth metric on the disk for $kgeq3$. For $k=1$ the classical result of [W] shows that $sigm{a}_1$ is maximized by the standard metric on the round disk. For $k=2$ it was shown [GP1] that $sigm{a}_2$ is not maximized for a smooth metric. We also prove a local rigidity result for the critical catenoid and the critical M"obius band as free boundary minimal surfaces in a ball under $C^2$ deformations. We next show that the first $k$ Steklov eigenvalues are continuous under certain degenerations of Riemannian manifolds in any dimension. Finally we show that for $kgeq2$ the supremum of the $k$-th Steklov eigenvalue on the annulus over all metrics is strictly larger that that over $S^1$-invariant metrics. We prove this same result for metrics on the M"obius band.
