Isoperimetric problems for polytopes (52B60) Selfadjoint operator theory in quantum theory, including spectral analysis (81Q10)

Abstract: We consider Hamiltonian with $N$ point interactions in $R^d,d=2,3,$ all with the same coupling constant, placed at vertices of an equilateral polygon $P{P}_N$. It is shown that the ground state energy is locally maximized by a regular polygon. The question whether the maximum is global is reduced to an interesting geometric problem.
