Abstract: This paper is dedicated to the regularity of the optimal sets for the second eigenvalue of the Dirichlet Laplacian. Precisely, we prove that if the set $Omega$ minimizes the functional [ mathcal F_Lambda(Omega)=lambda_2(Omega)+Lambda |Omega|, ] among all subsets of a smooth bounded open set $Dsubsetmathbb{R}^d$, where $lambd{a}_2(Omega)$ is the second eigenvalue of the Dirichlet Laplacian on $Omega$ and $Lambda>0$ is a fixed constant, then $Omega$ is equivalent to the union of two disjoint open sets $Omeg{a}_{+}$ and $Omeg{a}_{-}$, which are $C^{1,alpha}$-regular up to a (possibly empty) closed set of Hausdorff dimension at most $d-5$, contained in the one-phase free boundaries $DcappartialOmeg{a}_{+}setminuspartialOmeg{a}_{-}$ and $DcappartialOmeg{a}_{-}setminuspartialOmeg{a}_{+}$.
