Abstract: For any bounded regular domain Omega of a real analytic Riemannian manifold M, we denote by lambdak(Omega) the k-th eigenvalue of the Dirichlet Laplacian of Omega. In this paper, we consider lambdak and as a functional upon the set of domains of fixed volume in M. We introduce and investigate a natural notion of critical domain for this functional. In particular, we obtain necessary and sufficient conditions for a domain to be critical, locally minimizing or locally maximizing for lambdak. These results rely on Hadamard type variational formulae that we establish in this general setting.
