Souam's conjecture on Schiffer domains in the 2-sphere
Souam's conjecture on Schiffer domains in the 2-sphere
Let be a sufficiently regular Schiffer domain, meaning a smooth bounded domain for which the overdetermined Neumann problem has a solution for some . A geodesic disk is a disk bounded by a geodesic circle, and a round symmetric annulus is an annulus bounded by two concentric geodesic circles.
Souam's conjecture. If is a sufficiently regular Schiffer domain, then is either a geodesic disk or a round symmetric annulus.
Souam's conjecture follows classification results for certain cases, including simply connected domains with and domains with equal to the second Dirichlet eigenvalue. The paper's abstract states that this conjecture is disproved by constructing a related family of subdomains of .
