We consider an optimization problem for the first Dirichlet eigenvalue of the pp-Laplacian on a hypersurface in R2nR2n, with n≥2n≥2. If p≥2n−1p≥2n−1, then among hypersurfaces in R2nR2n which are O(n)×O(n)O(n)×O(n)-invariant and have one fixed boundary component, there is a surface which maximizes the first Dirichlet eigenvalue of the pp-Laplacian. This surface is either Simons’ cone or a C1C1 hypersurface, depending on pp and nn. If nn is fixed and pp is large, then the maximizing surface is not Simons’ cone. If p=2p=2 and n≤5n≤5, then Simons’ cone does not maximize the first eigenvalue.
