Conformal and extrinsic upper bounds for the harmonic mean of Neumann and Steklov eigenvalues

Abstract: Let $M$ be an $m$-dimensional compact Riemannian manifold with boundary. We obtain the upper bound of the harmonic mean of the first $m$ nonzero Neumann eigenvalues and Steklov eigenvalues involving the conformal volume and relative conformal volume, respectively. We also give an optimal sharp extrinsic upper bound for closed submanifolds in the space forms. These extend the previous related results for the first nonzero eigenvalue.
