On polygonal nonlocal isoperimetric inequalities: Hardy-Littlewood, Riesz, Faber-Krahn (English)
[ Abstract ]
The starting point is the Faber-Krahn inequality on the first eigenvalue of the Dirichlet Laplacian. Many refinements were obtained in the last years, mainly due to the use of recent techniques based on the analysis of vectorial free boundary problems. It turns out that the polygonal version of this inequality, very easy to state, is extremely hard to prove and remains open since 1947, when it was conjectured by Polya. I will connect this question to somehow easier problems, like polygonal versions of Hardy-Littlewood and Riesz inequalities and I will discuss the local minimality of regular polygons and the possibility to prove the conjecture by a mixed approach. This talk is based on joint works with Beniamin Bogosel and Ilaria Fragala.
