Isoperimetric Inequalities for Eigenvalues of Operators

speaker: Emmanuel Russ (Université Paul Cézanne)

abstract: We generalize the Rayleigh-Faber-Krahn inequality for the principal eigenvalue of the Dirichlet Laplacian to rather general second order elliptic operators, possibly non-symmetric. The proofs use a new rearrangement technique, different from the Schwarz symmetrization. This is joint work with François Hamel and Nikolai Nadirashvili.
