The disk maximizer conjecture for Neumann eigenvalue sums
Let be a bounded convex plane domain of area and moment of inertia , and let be its positive Neumann Laplace eigenvalues. Neumann sum conjecture. For each , the scale-invariant sum
should be maximal when is a disk. The case is known from the Szegő–Weinberger inequality, while the asserted result for all sums and convex domains remains open in the paper.
