Kohler-Jobin inequality for $p$-Laplace operator in the Gauss space

Abstract

A sharp lower bound for the first Dirichlet eigenvalue of the $p$-laplacian in Gaussian space is derived for sets with prescribed generalized torsional rigidity. The result provides an extension of the classical spectral inequality due to Kohler-Jobin. The proof is based on a careful analysis of the generalized torsional rigidity and on a sharp mass comparison result. Furthermore, a Payne-Rayner type inequality is established.
