A reverse quantitative isoperimetric type inequality for the Dirichlet Laplacian (Q2083985)

Summary: A stability result in terms of the perimeter is obtained for the first Dirichlet eigenvalue of the Laplacian operator. In particular, we prove that, once we fix the dimension \(n \geq 2\), there exists a constant \(c > 0\), depending only on \(n\), such that, for every \(\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^n\) open, bounded, and convex set with volume equal to the volume of a ball \(B\) with radius \(1\), it holds that \(\lambda_1 (\Omega) -\lambda_1 (B) \geq c(P(\Omega) - P(B))^2\), where \(\lambda_1 (\cdot)\) denotes the first Dirichlet eigenvalue of a set and \(P (\cdot)\) its perimeter. The heart of the present paper is a sharp estimate of the Fraenkel asymmetry in terms of the perimeter.
