Maximizing the fundamental Laplace--Neumann eigenvalue on quadrilaterals
We prove that among convex planar quadrilaterals of equal area, the square uniquely maximizes the first nonzero Laplace--Neumann eigenvalue. This is the quadrilateral case of the Neumann analogue of the long-standing P\'olya--Szeg\H{o} conjecture, which asserts that the regular $n$-gon minimizes the first Laplace--Diri...
