Faber-Krahn inequalities in sharp quantitative form

Abstract

The classical Faber-Krahn inequality asserts that balls (uniquely) minimize the first eigenvalue of the Dirichlet-Laplacian among sets with given volume. In this paper we prove a sharp quantitative enhancement of this result, thus confirming a conjecture by Nadirashvili and Bhattacharya-Weitsman. More generally, the result applies to every optimal Poincaré-Sobolev constant for the embeddings $W_0^{1,2}(\Omega )\hookrightarrow L^q(\Omega )$.
