Abstract

We provide isoperimetric Szeg\"{o}-Weinberger type inequalities for the first nontrivial Neumann eigenvalue μ1(Ω)\mu_{1}(\Omega) in Gauss space, where Ω\Omega is a possibly unbounded domain of RN\mathbb{R}^{N}. Our main result consists in showing that among all sets of RN\mathbb{R}^{N} symmetric about the origin, having prescribed Gaussian measure, μ1(Ω)\mu_{1}(\Omega) is maximum if and only if Ω\Omega is the euclidean ball centered at the origin.
