Sharp quantitative Talenti's inequality in particular cases (2503.07337v1)

Abstract: In this paper, we focus on the famous Talenti's symmetrization inequality, more precisely its $L^p$ corollary asserting that the $L^p$-norm of the solution to $-\Delta v=f^\sharp$ is higher than the $L^p$-norm of the solution to $-\Delta u=f$ (we are considering Dirichlet boundary conditions, and $f^\sharp$ denotes the Schwarz symmetrization of $f:\Omega\to\mathbb{R}_+$). We focus on the particular case where functions $f$ are defined on the unit ball, and are characteristic functions of a subset of this unit ball. We show in this case that stability occurs for the $L^p$-Talenti inequality with the sharp exponent 2.
