Abstract:
In this paper, we prove that for a bounded domain in a rank- symmetric space, the first non-zero Neumann eigenvalue where denotes the geodesic ball of radius such that 
and equality holds iff . This result generalises the works of Szego, Weinberger and Ashbaugh-Benguria for bounded domains in the spaces of constant curvature.
