The Makai inequality in higher dimensions: qualitative and quantitative aspects

In this paper, given a convex, bounded, open set $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ we prove a sharp inequality involving the Laplacian torsional rigidity and both the perimeter and the measure of the domain. Our result generalizes to arbitrary dimensions the inequality established by Makai in the plane which, as conjectured in arXiv:2007.02549. Furthermore, we establish quantitative estimates that provide key insights into the geometric structure and the thickness of the underlying optimizing sequences.
