Abstract

We study the area ranges where the two possible isoperimetric domains on the infinite cylinder S1×R\mathbb{S}^{1}\times \R, namely, geodesic disks and cylindrical strips of the form S1×[0,h]\mathbb{S}^1\times [0,h], satisfy P\'{o}lya's conjecture. In the former case, we provide an upper bound on the maximum value of the radius for which the conjecture may hold, while in the latter we fully characterise the values of hh for which it does hold for these strips. As a consequence, we determine a necessary and sufficient condition for the isoperimetric domain on S1×R\mathbb{S}^{1}\times \R corresponding to a given area to satisfy P\'{o}lya's conjecture. In the case of the cylindrical strip, we also provide a necessary and sufficient condition for the Li-Yau inequalities to hold.
