The isoperimetric inequality for partial sums of Toeplitz eigenvalues in the Fock space
Abstract
We prove that, among all subsets having circular symmetry and prescribed measure, the ball is the only maximizer of the sum of the first eigenvalues () of the corresponding Toeplitz operator on the Fock space . As a byproduct, we prove that balls maximize any Schatten -norm of for (and minimize the corresponding quasinorm for ), and that the second eigenvalue is maximized by a particular annulus. Moreover, we extend some of these results to general radial symbols in , with , characterizing those that maximize the sum of the first eigenvalues. We also show a symmetry breaking phenomenon for the second eigenvalue, when the assumption of circular symmetry is dropped.
