Abstract
We find upper and lower bounds for the first eigenvalue of the Laplacian on the two-sphere from which a disk has been removed, with Dirichlet conditions imposed on the resulting boundary. When the radius of the disk tends to zero our lower bound is sharper than that obtained by Del Grosso, Gerardi, and Marchetti in the preceding paper.
