Dirichlet monotonicity conjecture with volume scaling

About 2 years old · traced to

Let C(Θ)C(\Theta) be the geodesic ball of radius Θ\Theta in the constant-curvature model, let λk(Θ)\lambda_k(\Theta) be its kthk^{\text{th}} Dirichlet eigenvalue, and let V(Θ)V(\Theta) denote its volume.

Dirichlet monotonicity with volume scaling. The function

λk(Θ)V(Θ)2/n\lambda_k(\Theta)V(\Theta)^{2/n}

decreases strictly for Θ∈(−∞,π)\Theta\in(-\infty,\pi), for k≥2k\geq2 and n≥2n\geq2.

The conjecture extends the known first-eigenvalue behavior and the established negative-radius behavior of the second eigenvalue, while its behavior on (0,π)(0,\pi) is not deduced by the cited results.
