An Isoperimetric inequality for an integral operator on flat tori

Spectral Theory 2016-06-10 v2

Abstract

We consider a class of Hilbert-Schmidt integral operators with an isotropic, stationary kernel acting on square integrable functions defined on flat tori. For any fixed kernel which is positive and decreasing, we show that among all unit-volume flat tori, the equilateral torus maximizes the operator norm and the Hilbert-Schmidt norm.
