We prove that among convex planar quadrilaterals of equal area, the square uniquely maximizes the first nonzero Laplace--Neumann eigenvalue. This is the quadrilateral case of the Neumann analogue of the long-standing P\'olya--Szeg\H{o} conjecture, which asserts that the regular $n$-gon minimizes the first Laplace--Dirichlet eigenvalue among $n$-gons of equal area. The proof uses a Rayleigh--Ritz lower bound, obtained from the span of the first five nonconstant Neumann modes of the square, on a smooth auxiliary functional whose minimization implies the original maximization. Local maximality at the square follows from a symmetry-reduced Hessian, computed in closed form, together with a certified second-order difference-quotient test that establishes the local inequality on an explicit ball around the square. Global maximality is then established by a certified box covering of the parameter space, certifying on each box a direct upper bound on the first Rayleigh--Ritz eigenvalue. Both certifications operate entirely on integrals over a fixed reference square and avoid a posteriori finite-element bounds on the perturbed quadrilateral.
We study torsional rigidity as a function of the labeled vertices of a convex polygon. Starting from the distributed second shape derivative, we derive the Hessian with respect to vertex coordinates. At a regular polygon, dihedral symmetry makes this matrix block circulant in radial-tangential coordinates, reducing its...
A small polygon is a planar polygon of diameter at most one; let $A_n$ be the largest area at order $n$. Using the global characterization of the even-order maximizers established in a companion paper, we determine their asymptotic geometry. After scaling the angular deficits near the unique pendant diameter, the exact...
We establish a collection of sharp inequalities for real quadratic forms on the first-quadrant sector of a regular octagon. Starting from the complete extreme-point description of the associated polynomial unit ball, we compute the exact pointwise Bernstein function for the Euclidean gradient. One extreme curve control...

In this paper, we establish an upper bound for the second eigenvalue of the scalar Jacobi operator of an arbitrary closed two-sided surface immersed in a contracted Berger sphere. The estimate involves the total squared mean curvature, the Euler characteristic, and an explicit nonpositive term determined by the angle b...
Chui's conjecture asks whether the average electrostatic field generated by $N$ unit point charges on the unit circle is minimized when the charges are equally spaced. Abakumov, Borichev, and Fedorovskiy proved an analogue of this conjecture in weighted Bergman spaces, showing that the corresponding norm is minimized u...
We study a nonlocal 2-Hessian equation, given by an infimum of linear deformations of the fractional Laplacian, that is, $\inf_{A\in {A}_2}\Delta^s (u\circ A)(A^{-1}x)$. We characterize the class of coefficient matrices ${A}_2$, which determines the behavior of the operator, and provide a detailed geometric description...
