Abstract

We consider the problem of geometric optimization for the lowest eigenvalue of the two-dimensional Schr\"odinger operator with an attractive δ\delta'-interaction of a fixed strength, the support of which is a C2C^2-smooth contour. Under the constraint of a fixed length of the contour, we prove that the lowest eigenvalue is maximized by the circle. The proof relies on the min-max principle and the method of parallel coordinates.
