I will describe several
recent results with N. Nadirashvili where we construct extremal metrics
for eigenvalues on riemannian surfaces. This involves the study of a
Schrodinger operator. As an application, one gets isoperimetric
inequalities on the 2-sphere
for the third eigenvalue of the Laplace Beltrami operator.
