Stability of the Gaussian Faber–Krahn inequality

Abstract

AbstractWe prove a quantitative version of the Gaussian Faber–Krahn type inequality proved in (Betta et al. in Z. Angew. Math. Phys. 58:37–52, 2007) for the first Dirichlet eigenvalue of the Ornstein–Uhlenbeck operator, estimating the deficit in terms of the Gaussian Fraenkel asymmetry. As expected, the multiplicative constant only depends on the prescribed Gaussian measure.
