Geometric maximizers of Schatten norms of some convolution type integral operators

Abstract

In this paper we prove that the ball is a maximizer of the Schatten $p$-norm of some convolution type integral operators with non-increasing kernels among all domains of a given measure in $\mathbb R^{d}$. We also show that the equilateral triangle has the largest Schatten $p$-norm among all triangles of a given area. Some physical motivations for our results are also presented.
