Abstract

We consider Lane-Emden ground states with polytropic index 0 <= q - 1 <= 1, that is, minimizers of the Dirichlet integral among L-q-normalized functions. Our main result is a sharp lower bound on the L-2-norm of the normal derivative in terms of the energy, which implies a corresponding isoperimetric inequality. Our bound holds for arbitrary bounded open Lipschitz sets Omega subset of R-d, without assuming convexity.
