In this talk, we will give an overview on the results obtained at the question “Can we hear the shape of a drum“ asked by Mark Kac in 1966. We will revisit the mathematical meaning of this question and describe it. In particular, we will review the famous Faber-Krahn inequality and some if its generalisations.
