For any bounded regular domain $Ω$ of a real analytic Riemannian manifold $M$, we denote by $λ_{k}(Ω)$ the $k$-th eigenvalue of the Dirichlet Laplacian of $Ω$. In this paper, we consider $λ_k$ and as a functional upon the set of domains of fixed volume in $M$. We introduce and investigate a natural notion of critical domain for this functional. In particular, we obtain necessary and sufficient conditions for a domain to be critical, locally minimizing or locally maximizing for $λ_k$. These results rely on Hadamard type variational formulae that we establish in this general setting.
