The Schiffer conjecture for bounded Lipschitz domains

From papers

Let ΩS\operatorname{\Omega_S} be a bounded Lipschitz domain. Consider the overdetermined scalar Neumann eigenvalue problem

Δu=μSuin ΩS,nu=0on ΩS,u=con ΩS.-\Delta u=\mu_Su\quad\text{in }\operatorname{\Omega_S},\qquad \partial_nu=0\quad\text{on }\partial\operatorname{\Omega_S},\qquad u=c\quad\text{on }\partial\operatorname{\Omega_S}.

Schiffer conjecture. If this problem admits a non-trivial solution, then ΩS\operatorname{\Omega_S} is a ball. The conjecture is a well-known open problem in geometric analysis and, through the paper's characterization, is equivalent to the assertion that balls are the only bad domains for the fluid-elastic semigroup.
