Truncations for fractional Laplacians
Let $\Omega\subset\mathbb R^n$ be a bounded Lipschitz domain. We prove and widely generalize a conjecture of A.\,I.~Nazarov \cite{Naz21}: for $s\in(1,\frac 32)$ the quadratic form $Q^{\rm SP}_s[u]$ of the spectral fractional Dirichlet Laplacian strictly increases under the map $u\mapsto|u|$ provided $u\in\tilde H^s(\Omega)$ changes sign in $\Omega$.
