| Popis: | We start by revisiting the derivation of the variational formulae for the functional assigning to a bounded regular domain in a Riemannian manifold its first Dirichlet eigenvalue and extend it to (not necessarily bounded) domains in certain weighted manifolds. This is further extended to other functionals defined by certain Dirichlet energy integrals, with a Morse index formula for the corresponding critical domains being established. We complement these infinitesimal results by proving a couple of global rigidity theorems for (possibly critical) domains in Gaussian half-space, including an Alexandrov-type soap bubble theorem. Although we provide direct proofs of these latter results, we find it worthwhile to point out that the main tools employed (specifically, certain Pohozhaev and Reilly identities) can be formally understood as limits (when the dimension goes to infinity) of tools previously established by Ciarolo-Vezzoni and Qiu-Xia to handle similar problems in round hemispheres, with the notion of "convergence" of weighted manifolds being loosely inspired by the celebrated Poincar\'e's limit theorem in the theory of Gaussian random vectors. Comment: Rewritten at some points to improve the presentation; Section 8 slightly expanded, became an appendix; lots of typos fixed; a few references added; 27 pages; no figures |
