Conformal-radius maximality conjecture for the second Robin eigenvalue

About 8 years old · traced to

Suppose F:D→ΩF:\mathbb D\to\Omega is a conformal map of the unit disk onto a Jordan–Lipschitz domain Ω\Omega, and let L(Ω)L(\Omega) denote the perimeter of Ω\Omega. For α>0\alpha>0, the conformal-radius conjecture for the second Robin eigenvalue. The scale-invariant quantity

λ2(Ω;α/L(Ω))∣F′(0)∣2\lambda_2\bigl(\Omega;\alpha/L(\Omega)\bigr)|F'(0)|^2

is maximal when FF is linear and Ω\Omega is a disk. The conjecture extends the established conformal-radius maximality result for the first Robin eigenvalue to the second eigenvalue. Its Dirichlet limiting case is known, but the Robin statement remains open in the source.
