Abstract

We prove that, among all subsets ΩC\Omega\subset \mathbb{C} having circular symmetry and prescribed measure, the ball is the only maximizer of the sum of the first KK eigenvalues (K1K\geq 1) of the corresponding Toeplitz operator TΩT_\Omega on the Fock space F\mathcal{F}. As a byproduct, we prove that balls maximize any Schatten pp-norm of TΩT_\Omega for p>1p>1 (and minimize the corresponding quasinorm for p<1p<1), and that the second eigenvalue is maximized by a particular annulus. Moreover, we extend some of these results to general radial symbols in Lp(C)L^p(\mathbb{C}), with p>1p > 1, characterizing those that maximize the sum of the first KK eigenvalues. We also show a symmetry breaking phenomenon for the second eigenvalue, when the assumption of circular symmetry is dropped.
