Abstract: We investigate relations between spectral properties of a single-centre point-interaction Hamiltonian describing a particle confined to a bounded domain $Omegasubsetmathbb{R}^d,:d=2,3$, with Dirichlet boundary, and the geometry of $Omega$. For this class of operators Krein's formula yields an explicit representation of the resolvent in terms of the integral kernel of the unperturbed one, $(-Delt{a}_{Omega}^D+z{)}^{-1}$. We use a moving plane analysis to characterize the behaviour of the ground-state energy of the Hamiltonian with respect to the point-interaction position and the shape of $Omega$, in particular, we establish some conditions showing how to place the interaction to optimize the principal eigenvalue.
