Quantitative stability conjecture for optimal potentials on general domains

About 6 years old · traced to

Let Ω\Omega be a domain, let VΩV_\Omega be a minimizer of the variational problem, and let uΩu_\Omega be its associated eigenfunction. Write

VΩ=χEΩ=χ{uΩ⩾μΩ}V_\Omega=\chi_{E_\Omega}=\chi_{\{u_\Omega\geqslant\mu_\Omega\}}

for some μΩ∈R\mu_\Omega\in\mathbb R. Assume that the minimizer is regular, in the sense that

∂uΩ∂ν⩽−C<0\frac{\partial u_\Omega}{\partial\nu}\leqslant -C<0

on ∂EΩ\partial E_\Omega, and that EΩE_\Omega is a non-degenerate shape minimizer: for every admissible variation Φ∈X1(EΩ)\Phi\in\mathcal X_1(E_\Omega), if LτL_\tau is the associated Lagrangian, then

Lτ”(EΩ)[Φ,Φ]>0.L_\tau”(E_\Omega)[\Phi,\Phi]>0.

Quantitative stability conjecture. There exists η>0\eta>0 such that, for every V∈M(Ω)V\in\mathcal M(\Omega),

∥V−VΩ∥L1(Ω)⩽η ⟹ λ(V)−λ(V∗)⩾C∥V−V∗∥L1(Ω)2.\|V-V_\Omega\|_{L^1(\Omega)}\leqslant\eta\ \Longrightarrow\ \lambda(V)-\lambda(V^*)\geqslant C\|V-V^*\|_{L^1(\Omega)}^2.

This conjecture proposes extension of the quantitative inequality from the ball to general domains under regularity and non-degeneracy assumptions on the minimizing shape. The notation V∗V^* in the final inequality appears inconsistent with the preceding general-domain notation, where the natural reference potential is VΩV_\Omega; this should be checked against the source.
