Convex-function 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 μK\mu_K be the equilibrium measure of KK, and let L=[−2,2]L=[-2,2] with equilibrium measure μL\mu_L. Convex-function moment conjecture. For every ϕ∈C1(R)\phi\in C^1(\mathbb{R}) such that both ϕ\phi and ϕ′\phi' are convex,

∫Kϕ(log⁡∣z∣) dμK≤∫Lϕ(log⁡∣z∣) dμL.\int_K\phi(\log|z|)\,d\mu_K\leq\int_L\phi(\log|z|)\,d\mu_L.

The source presents this as an equivalent formulation of the averaged conjecture; it is not stated as resolved.
