Abstract

In this paper we study the (nonlocal) torsional rigidity in the ambient space of random walk spaces. We get the relation of the (nonlocal) torsional rigidity of a set Ω\Omega with the spectral mm-heat content of Ω\Omega, what gives rise to a complete description of the nonlocal torsional rigidity of Ω\Omega by using uniquely probability terms involving the set Ω\Omega; and recover the first eigenvalue of the nonlocal Laplacian with homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions by a limit formula using these probability term. For the random walk in RN\R^N associated with a non singular kernel, we get a nonlocal version of the Saint-Venant inequality, and, under rescaling we recover the classical Saint-Venant inequality. We study the nonlocal pp-torsional rigidity and its relation with the nonlocal Cheeger constants. We also get a nonlocal version of the P\'{o}lya-Makai-type inequalities. We relate the torsional rigidity given here for weighted graphs with the torsional rigidity on metric graphs.
