Abstract: Let Sigma be a compact surface with boundary. For a given conformal class c on Sigma the functional sigmak∗(Sigma,c) is defined as the supremum of the k−th normalized Steklov eigenvalue over all metrics on c. We consider the behaviour of this functional on the moduli space of conformal classes on Sigma. A precise formula for the limit of sigmak∗(Sigma,cn) when the sequence cn degenerates is obtained. We apply this formula to the study of natural analogs of the Friedlander-Nadirashvili invariants of closed manifolds defined as infcsigmak∗(Sigma,c), where the infimum is taken over all conformal classes c on Sigma. We show that these quantities are equal to 2pik for any surface with boundary. As an application of our techniques we obtain new estimates on the k−th normalized Steklov eigenvalue of a non-orientable surface in terms of its genus and the number of boundary components.
