On the Lieb-Thirring constant on the torus (Q2304519)

The paper under review deals with the constant \(k_2\) in the estimate \[\int_{\mathbb{T}^2} \Bigl(\sum_{j=1}^N |\psi_j(x)|^2\Bigr)^2\,dx \leq k_2 \sum_{j=1}^N \|\nabla \psi_j\|_{L_2(\mathbb{T}^2)}^2,\] where \((\psi_j)_{j=1,\ldots,N}\) is an orthonormal system in \(H^1(\mathbb{T}^2)\) such that all the \(\psi_j\)'s have zero mean. The main theorem is stated as \[k_2 \leq \frac{3}{2\pi}.\]
