Magnetic second-eigenvalue minimizer phase-transition conjecture
Magnetic second-eigenvalue minimizer phase-transition conjecture
Let be a constant magnetic field, let be a bounded open domain with , and let be the second eigenvalue of the magnetic Dirichlet Laplacian. Magnetic second-eigenvalue phase-transition conjecture. The minimizing domain changes at the critical field : it is two disjoint disks of equal measure for , and a single disk for . Numerical evidence suggests a sudden transition at the threshold, but the conjecture remains open.
