One can hear the area and curvature of boundary of a domain by hearing the Steklov eigenvalues

Abstract: For a given bounded domain $\Omega$ with smooth boundary in a smooth Riemannian manifold $(\mathcal{M},g)$, we show that the Poisson type upper-estimate of the heat kernel associated to the Dirichlet-to-Neumann operator, the Sobolev trace inequality, the Log-Sobolev trace inequality, the Nash trace inequality, and the Rozenblum-Lieb-Cwikel type inequality are all equivalent. Upon decomposing the Dirichlet-to-Neumann operator into a sum of the square root of the Laplacian and a pseudodifferntial operator and by applying Grubb's method of symbolic calculus for the corresponding pseudodifferential heat kernel operators, we establish a procedure to calculate all the coefficients of the asymptotic expansion of the trace of the heat kernel associated to Dirichlet-to-Neumann operator as $t\to 0^+$. In particular, we explicitly give the first four coefficients of this asymptotic expansion. These coefficients give precise information regarding the area and curvatures of the boundary of the domain in terms of the spectrum of the Steklov problem.
