Abstract: We consider the eigenvalue problem for the {it fractional pLaplacian} in an open bounded, possibly disconnected set OmegasubsetmathbbRn, under homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions. After discussing some regularity issues for eigenfuctions, we show that the second eigenvalue lambda2(Omega) is well-defined, and we characterize it by means of several equivalent variational formulations. In particular, we extend the mountain pass characterization of Cuesta, De Figueiredo and Gossez to the nonlocal and nonlinear setting. Finally, we consider the minimization problem [ inf {lambda_2(Omega),:,|Omega|=c}. ] We prove that, differently from the local case, an optimal shape does not exist, even among disconnected sets. A minimizing sequence is given by the union of two disjoint balls of volume c/2 whose mutual distance tends to infinity.
