Logarithmic capacity and torsion in planar shape optimization

Year: 2026
Type: preprint
Abstract: We study a family of functionals involving a product of logarithmic capacity and torsional rigidity. Using several geometric inequalities, we identify the discs as the only maximizers among planar convex sets for certain values of the parameters. Finally, we prove regularity of maximizers in the non-critical case. This is done by establishing a shape-differentiability theorem for the logarithmic capacity in the class of planar convex bodies.
