Nous démontrons deux bornes explicites pour les multiplicités des valeurs propres de Steklov σ k sur les surfaces compactes avec bord. Une de ces bornes ne dépend que du genre de la surface et de l’indice k de la valeur propre, tandis que l’autre dépend également du nombre de composantes connexes du bord. Nous montrons aussi que pour toute surface riemannienne lisse donnée, les multiplicités des valeurs propres de Steklov σ k sont uniformément bornées en k.

We prove two explicit bounds for the multiplicities of Steklov eigenvalues σ k on compact surfaces with boundary. One of the bounds depends only on the genus of a surface and the index k of an eigenvalue, while the other depends as well on the number of boundary components. We also show that on any given Riemannian surface with smooth boundary the multiplicities of Steklov eigenvalues σ k are uniformly bounded in k.
