Infinitely many solitary waves in three space dimensions
First we recall a Faber-Krahn type inequality and an estimate for in terms of the so-called Cheeger constant. Then we prove that the eigenvalue converges to the Cheeger constant as . The associated eigenfunction converges to the characteristic function of the Cheeger set, i.e. a subset of which minimizes the ratio among all simply connected . As a byproduct we prove that for convex the Cheeger set is also convex.
