Spectre et géométrie conforme des variétés compactes à bord

Abstract : We prove that on any compact manifold $M^n$ with boundary, there exist a conformal class $C$ such that for any riemannian metric $g\in C$ ofunit volume, the first positive eigenvalue of the Neumann Laplacian satisfies $\lambda_1(M^n,g)< n Vol(S^n,g_{\textrm{can}})^{2/n}$. We also prove a similar inequality for the first positive Steklov eigenvalue. The proof relies on a handle decomposition of the manifold. We also prove that the conformal volume of $(M,C)$ is $Vol(S^n,g_{\textrm{can}})$, and that the Friedlander-Nadirashvili and the Möbius volume of $M$ are equal to those of the sphere. If $M$ is a domain in a space form, $C$ is the conformal class of the canonical metric.
