We study the reverse Cheeger inequality, which bounds from above the ratio of the first Dirichlet Laplacian eigenvalue to the square of the Cheeger constant. We first extend this inequality from convex sets to a broader class. We then analyze maximizing sequences among convex bodies. To quantify domain collapse, we introduce the notion of principal widths. For three-dimensional convex bodies, we prove that if the ratio of the first principal width to the second principal width vanishes along a sequence of convex bodies, then such sequence is maximizing. Finally, in arbitrary dimensions, we prove that the same property holds for the class of rhomboid-like sets.
We prove a sharp isoperimetric inequality for the harmonic mean of the first $n$ nonzero Neumann eigenvalues of the Witten-Laplacian on origin-symmetric Lipschitz domains in space forms, endowed with radial log-concave measures. The main novelty is that we establish the sharp harmonic mean inequality under general radi...
We establish a sharp lower bound for the total Gauss-Kronecker curvature of convex hypersurfaces in Cartan-Hadamard manifolds with pinched negative curvature. The bound holds in all dimensions when the diameter is small relative to the curvature scale, and in dimensions 4 and 5 without any restriction on the diameter,...
We say that a convex body is in Faber-Krahn position if it minimizes the first Dirichlet eigenvalue within its volume-preserving linear orbit. We prove that this position is unique up to orthogonal transformations, answering a question of Schmuckenschlaeger from 2011. This is a corollary of a new log-convexity property...
We prove a sharp comparison, with Obata-type rigidity, for all Neumann eigenvalues of one-dimensional $\mathrm{CD}(1,2)$ spaces against the Legendre model, under a convexity condition on the density. It follows that minimizers of the $k$-th Laplace eigenvalue among closed surfaces of Gaussian curvature at least $1$ can...
We prove the Weinstock inequality for the first Steklov eigenvalue of convex domains in hyperbolic space $\mathbb{H}^{n}$, resolving Open Question 4.27 of Colbois-Girouard-Gordon-Sher(2024) for the remaining case $n=3$. Our argument replaces the global monotonicity required in earlier work Gu-Li-Wan(2025) with a one-cr...
We study extremizers for a trilinear Stein-Weiss inequality on $\mathbb{R}^n$. Within the known boundedness region, we prove attainment under two additional assumptions: all six weight exponents are nonnegative, and at least one pair of Lebesgue exponents is admissible. The proof combines symmetric decreasing rearrange...
