Abstract: Given a connected set $Omeg{a}_{0}subsetmathbb{R}^2$, define a sequence of sets $(Omeg{a}_n{)}_{n=0}^{infty}$ where $Omeg{a}_{n+1}$ is the subset of $Omeg{a}_n$ where the first eigenfunction of the (properly normalized) Neumann $p-$Laplacian $-Delt{a}^{(p)}phi=lambd{a}_1|phi{|}^{p-2}phi$ is positive (or negative). For $p=1$, this is also referred to as the Ratio Cut of the domain. We conjecture that, unless $Omeg{a}_0$ is an isosceles right triangle, these sets converge to the set of rectangles with eccentricity bounded by 2 in the Gromov-Hausdorff distance as long as they have a certain distance to the boundary $partialOmeg{a}_0$. We establish some aspects of this conjecture for $p=1$ where we prove that (1) the 1-Laplacian spectral cut of domains sufficiently close to rectangles of a given aspect ratio is a circular arc that is closer to flat than the original domain (leading eventually to quadrilaterals) and (2) quadrilaterals close to a rectangle of aspect ratio $2$ stay close to quadrilaterals and move closer to rectangles in a suitable metric. We also discuss some numerical aspects and pose many open questions.
