A unified quantitative approach to Chiti and Kohler--Jobin inequalities
Abstract
We obtain two quantitative results related to classical rearrangement inequalities for the first Dirichlet eigenvalue. The first one is a quantitative version of Chiti's reverse Hölder inequality. More precisely, for every 1≤ q<p<∞, we prove that the deficit controls, up to translations, the Lq distance between a first eigenfunction of a bounded domain and the first eigenfunction of the ball having the same first eigenvalue. The second result concerns the Kohler--Jobin inequality and gives a quantitative estimate in terms of the L∞ → L2 distance between the corresponding Dirichlet resolvents. In both cases, the main idea is to find a suitable superlevel set of the first eigenfunction which is almost optimal for the Faber-Krahn inequality.

AB - We obtain two quantitative results related to classical rearrangement inequalities for the first Dirichlet eigenvalue. The first one is a quantitative version of Chiti's reverse Hölder inequality. More precisely, for every 1≤ q<p<∞, we prove that the deficit controls, up to translations, the L^q distance between a first eigenfunction of a bounded domain and the first eigenfunction of the ball having the same first eigenvalue. The second result concerns the Kohler--Jobin inequality and gives a quantitative estimate in terms of the L^∞ → L^2 distance between the corresponding Dirichlet resolvents. In both cases, the main idea is to find a suitable superlevel set of the first eigenfunction which is almost optimal for the Faber-Krahn inequality.
