Laugesen–Polterovich conjecture for the planar convex Neumann eigenvalue

At least 3 years old · documented by

Let Ω⊂R2\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^2 be a planar convex domain, let P(Ω)P(\Omega) denote its perimeter, and let μ1(Ω)\mu_1(\Omega) denote the second Neumann eigenvalue of the Laplacian. Laugesen–Polterovich conjecture. For every planar convex domain,

P2(Ω)μ1(Ω)≤16π2.P^2(\Omega)\mu_1(\Omega)\leq 16\pi^2.

Equality is achieved by squares and equilateral triangles. The problem asks for the maximizer of the second Neumann eigenvalue under a perimeter constraint; existence is known among convex sets, but the convex maximizer was not known in general when this conjecture was stated.
