Introduction to some conjectures for spectral minimal partitions

Given a bounded open set Ω in Rn (or in a Riemannian manifold) and a partition of Ω by k open sets Dj, we consider the quantity maxjλ(Dj) where λ(Dj) is the ground state energy of the Dirichlet realization of the Laplacian in Dj. If we denote by Lk(Ω) the infimum over all the k-partitions of maxjλ(D...
