The asymptotic Faber–Krahn shape conjecture for subgraphs of the integer lattice

Let GnG_n be any sequence of subgraphs in ZdZ^d such that Gn=n|G_n|=n and λD(Gn)=λD(n)\lambda_D(G_n)=\lambda_D^{(n)}. Let DRdD\subset R^d denote the unit ball, and let GnG_n^* be the rescaled realization of GnG_n. The Hausdorff distance between GnG_n^* and DD is measured after translating the graphs.

Asymptotic Faber–Krahn shape conjecture. After possibly translating the GnG_n, the Hausdorff distance between GnG_n^* and DD converges to 00 as nn\to\infty.

This conjecture predicts that discrete domains minimizing the Dirichlet eigenvalue asymptotically become spherical, extending the continuum Faber–Krahn principle from RdR^d to the integer lattice. The supplied text does not state whether the claim has been resolved.
