The ball inner Bernoulli solution-count conjecture for the fractional Laplacian

Let b1i(0,2)b1 i (0,2), da2d a 2, x0iR~dx_0 i\tilde{\mathbb{R}}^d, r>0r>0, and let D=xiR~d:xx0<rD={x i\tilde{\mathbb{R}}^d:|x-x_0|<r}. The inner Bernoulli problem for the fractional Laplacian on DD, with parameter bbdabbda, is the problem referred to as Problem ref{bernoulli_problem} in the source.

Ball solution-count hypothesis. There exists a constant bbdab1,D>0bbda_{b1,D}>0 such that the problem has exactly two solutions for bbda>bbdab1,Dbbda>bbda_{b1,D}, exactly one solution for bbda=bbdab1,Dbbda=bbda_{b1,D}, and no solution for bbda<bbdab1,Dbbda<bbda_{b1,D}.

The hypothesis is motivated by known results for the classical inner Bernoulli problem for balls. Its validity for the fractional Laplacian is presented as an unproved extension to higher-dimensional balls.
