Abstract: Given two compact Riemannian manifolds with boundary M1 and M2 such that their respective boundaries Sigma1 and Sigma2 admit neighborhoods Omega1 and Omega2 which are isometric, we prove the existence of a constant C, which depends only on the geometry of Omega1congOmega2, such that |sigmak(M1)−sigmak(M2)|leqC for each kinmathbbN. This follows from a quantitative relationship between the Steklov eigenvalues sigmak of a compact Riemannian manifold M and the eigenvalues lambdak of the Laplacian on its boundary. Our main result states that the difference |sigmak−sqrtlambdak| is bounded above by a constant which depends on the geometry of M only in a neighborhood of its boundary. The proofs are based on a Pohozaev identity and on comparison geometry for principal curvatures of parallel hypersurfaces. In several situations, the constant C is given explicitly in terms of bounds on the geometry of Omega1congOmega2.
