The isosceles right triangle conjecture for fixed-area right triangles

Let A>0A>0, and consider all right triangles of area AA. Write ρ(Ω)\rho(\Omega) for the torsional rigidity of a right triangle Ω\Omega.

Isosceles right triangle conjecture. Among all right triangles with area A>0A>0, the one with largest torsional rigidity is the isosceles right triangle with area AA.

The conjecture is motivated by the symmetry of other known extremal shapes and specializes to the unit-area claim discussed earlier. The source does not report a proof or disproof; its numerical study only gives approximate verification.
