Abstract: Consider the mean field equation with critical parameter $8pi$ in a bounded smooth domain $Omega$. Denote by $E_{8pi}(Omega)$ the infimum of the associated functional $I_{8pi}(Omega)$. We call $E_{8pi}(Omega)$ the "energy" of the domain $Omega$. We prove that if the area of $Omega$ is equal to $pi$, then the energy of $Omega$ is always greater or equal to the energy of the unit disk and equality holds if and only if $Omega$ is the unit disk. We also give a sufficient condition for the existence of a minimizer for $I_{8pi}(Omega)$.
