Averaged moment inequality for conformal-centroid compact continua

About 19 years old · traced to

Let K⊂CK\subset\mathbb{C} be compact and connected, with logarithmic capacity cap⁡(K)=1\operatorname{cap}(K)=1, 0∈K0\in K, and conformal centroid at the origin. Let gg be the Green's function of KcK^c with pole at infinity, let L=[−2,2]L=[-2,2], and let J(r,K)=∫rRI(t,K) dttJ(r,K)=\int_r^R I(t,K)\,\frac{dt}{t}, where I(r,K)=12π∫−ππg(reiθ) dθI(r,K)=\frac{1}{2\pi}\int_{-\pi}^{\pi}g(re^{i\theta})\,d\theta. Averaged moment conjecture. For every R≥2R\geq2,

J(r,K)≤J(r,L),r∈[0,R].J(r,K)\leq J(r,L),\qquad r\in[0,R].

This is proposed as an averaged substitute for the moment inequality that holds under symmetry but fails under the weaker conformal-centroid condition; its status is not resolved in the source.
