Monotonicity in the central dimension of the Pleijel upper-bound constant for H-type groups
Show that for every H-type group G ≅ R^{2n}_x × R^m_t, the explicit Pleijel upper-bound constant γ_{n,m} = (Sobolev_{n,m})^{-Q/2} · W_{n,m}^{-1}, with Q = 2n + 2m, is a decreasing function of m for each fixed n ≥ 1. Here W_{n,m} is the Weyl constant with c_{n,m} = ∑_{k≥0} binomial(k+n−1,k)/(2k+n)^{n+m}, and Sobolev_{n,m} is Yang’s sharp L^2-Sobolev constant for H-type groups. Establish γ_{n,m} ≤ γ_{n,m−1} for all integers n ≥ 1 and m ≥ 2 without resorting to truncations of c_{n,m}.

On the other hand, although the numerics (see appendix) appear to support the hypothesis {n, m} also decreases with respect to m uniform in n, it is not clear how to generalise the previous proof since the analogue of (kth-term-quotient), that is the quotient of the k-th term in c_{n, m} and c_{n, m-1} respectively, is 1/(2k+n) which is not bounded below.
