The reverse Faber–Krahn conjecture for the magnetic Neumann Laplacian

Let β>0\beta>0, and let ΩR2\Omega\subset\mathbb R^2 be an open, bounded and simply connected set with a CC^\infty smooth boundary. Let Ω\Omega^* be the disk in R2\mathbb R^2 centered at the origin such that Ω=Ω|\Omega^*|=|\Omega|. Reverse Faber–Krahn conjecture. For all β>0\beta>0,

λ1N(Ω,β)λ1N(Ω,β),\lambda_1^N(\Omega,\beta)\le\lambda_1^N(\Omega^*,\beta),

with equality if and only if Ω\Omega is a disk. This conjecture is suggested by results of Fournais and Helffer showing the reverse inequality for sufficiently small and sufficiently large magnetic fields when Ω\Omega is not a disk; the assertion for every positive β\beta remains open.
