Abstract: Let Omega be an open set in Euclidean space with finite Lebesgue measure |Omega|. We obtain some properties of the set function F:OmegamapstoR+ defined by F(Omega)=frac{T(Omega)lambda_1(Omega)}{|Omega|} , where T(Omega) and lambda1(Omega) are the torsional rigidity and the first eigenvalue of the Dirichlet Laplacian respectively. We improve the classical P'olya bound F(Omega)le1, and show that F(Omega)le 1- u_m T(Omega)|Omega|^{-1-frac2m}, where um depends only on m. For any m=2,3,dots and epsilonin(0,1) we construct an open set OmegaepsilonsubsetRm such that F(Omegaepsilon)ge1epsilon.
