Abstract

In this paper, we study the analogue in Gauss space of Lord Rayleigh’s conjecture for the clamped plate. We show that the first eigenvalue of the bi-Hermite operator in a bounded domain is bounded below by a constant C_V times the corresponding eigenvalue of a half-space with the same Gaussian measure V. Similar results are established on unbounded domains. We use rearrangement methods similar to Talenti’s for the Euclidean clamped plate. We obtain our constant C_V following the Euclidean approach of Ashbaugh and Benguria, and we find a numerical bound C_V≥ 0.91 by solving an associated minimization problem in terms of parabolic cylinder functions.
