Symmetry problems in harmonic analysis are formulated and solved. One of these problems is equivalent to the refined Schiffer's conjecture which was recently proved by the author. Let $k=const>0$ be fixed, $S^2$ be the unit sphere in…

We consider the "thin one-phase" free boundary problem, associated to minimizing a weighted Dirichlet energy of the function in $\mathbb R^{n+1}_+$ plus the area of the positivity set of that function in $\mathbb R^n$. We establish full…

We consider minimizers of \[ F(\lambda_1(\Omega),\ldots,\lambda_N(\Omega)) + |\Omega|, \] where $F$ is a function nondecreasing in each parameter, and $\lambda_k(\Omega)$ is the $k$-th Dirichlet eigenvalue of $\Omega$. This includes, in…
