Spectral inequalities for weighted $p$-Laplacians via Talenti symmetrization

Abstract

We consider the weighted pp-Laplacian associated with a measure μ\mu that is absolutely continuous with respect to the Lebesgue measure on an open connected subset XRNX\subset\mathbb{R}^N. We prove that Talenti's weighted P\'olya--Szeg\H{o} inequality -- originally established for Lipschitz functions on XX -- extends to Sobolev functions with zero boundary trace on arbitrary Borel subsets ΩX\Omega\subset X. This yields Faber--Krahn-type inequalities for the first (p,q)(p,q)-eigenvalue of the weighted Dirichlet pp-Laplacian. We present several examples fitting this abstract framework, including classical Euclidean and Gaussian cases alongside new results for homogeneous weights in convex cones, anisotropic Gaussians, and log-concave Gaussian perturbations.
