Abstract: | IfA andB are two bounded domains in
n
and (A), (B) are the lowest eigenvalues of – with Dirichlet boundary conditions then there is some translate,B
x, ofB such that (AB
x)<(A)+(B). A similar inequality holds for
.There are two corollaries of this theorem: (i) A lower bound for sup
x
{volume (AB
x)} in terms of (A), whenB is a ball; (ii) A compactness lemma for certain sequences inW
