Abstract
Let be the space form of sectional curvature , so that . Let be a nonempty bounded open set with Lipschitz boundary, and assume that when . Write for the Neumann spectrum, and let be a geodesic ball of volume . We prove the sharp shifted reciprocal inequality Equality holds if and only if is the disjoint union of two equal geodesic balls. This gives an affirmative answer to the conjecture of \cite[Remark~11]{BucurMartinetNahon2025}.
