E. Oudet's regular-polygon conjecture for the Steklov maximizer
Let be the class of convex polygons in with at most sides and perimeter , and let be a maximizer of the first nonzero Steklov eigenvalue over this class. The preceding existence and non-degeneracy conjecture asserts that such a maximizer exists and has exactly sides. E. Oudet's regular-polygon conjecture. The maximizer must be a regular -gon. This stronger Pólya-type conjecture was proposed by E. Oudet at an AIM workshop in 2018. The supplied context gives no resolution status.
