Abstract

In this paper we prove that the disc is a maximiser of the Schatten p-norm of the logarithmic potential operator among all domains of a given measure in R2, for all even integers 2≤p<∞. We also show that the equilateral triangle has the largest Schatten p-norm among all triangles of a given area. For the logarithmic potential operator on bounded open or triangular domains, we also obtain analogies of the Rayleigh-Faber-Krahn or Pólya inequalities, respectively. The logarithmic potential operator can be related to a nonlocal boundary value problem for the Laplacian, so we obtain isoperimetric inequalities for its eigenvalues as well.
