Abstract

We prove symmetry results for minimizers of a noncoercive functional defined on theclass of Sobolev functions with zero mean value. The minimizers are foliated Schwarz symmetric,i.e., they are axially symmetric with respect to an axis passing through the origin and nonincreasingin the polar angle fr...

Abstract: We prove symmetry results for minimizers of a noncoercive functional defined on theclass of Sobolev functions with zero mean value. The minimizers are foliated Schwarz symmetric,i.e., they are axially symmetric with respect to an axis passing through the origin and nonincreasingin the polar angle from this axis. In the two-dimensional case, we show a symmetry breaking.
