Abstract

We prove Reilly-type upper bounds for different types of eigenvalue problems on submanifolds of Euclidean spaces with density. This includes the eigenvalues of Paneitz-like operators as well as three types of generalized Steklov problems. In the case without density, the equality cases are discussed and we prove some stability results for hypersurfaces which derive from a general pinching result about the moment of inertia.
