Given a compact surface with boundary, we introduce a family of functionals on the space of its Riemannian metrics, defined via eigenvalues of a Steklov-type problem. We prove that each such functional is uniformly bounded from above, and we characterize maximizing metrics as induced by free boundary minimal immersions in some geodesic ball of a round sphere. Also, we determine that the maximizer in the case of a disk is a spherical cap of dimension two, and we prove rotational symmetry of free boundary minimal annuli in geodesic balls of round spheres which are immersed by first eigenfunctions.

  1. A degenerate free boundary minimal annulus and non-uniqueness in spherical caps beyond the hemisphere

    math.DG 2026-07 accept novelty 7.0 of 10

    The radius map of de Oliveira's free-boundary minimal annuli in S³ folds above the hemisphere, forcing non-uniqueness and isolated spectral degenerations detected by a general Robin defect identity.

  2. Free boundary minimal M\"obius band in spherical caps

    math.DG 2025-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    For each r in (0,π/2), a free boundary minimal Möbius band immersed by first Steklov eigenfunctions exists in the four-dimensional spherical cap, and any such immersion is intrinsically rotationally symmetric.
