contents For a bounded open set $Ω\subset \mathbb{R}^n$ with the same volume as the unit ball, the classical Faber-Krahn inequality says that the first Dirichlet eigenvalue $λ_1(Ω)$ of the Laplacian is at least that of the unit ball $B$. We prove that the deficit $λ_1(Ω)- λ_1(B)$ in the Faber-Krahn inequality controls the square of the distance between the resolvent operator $(-Δ_Ω)^{-1}$ for the Dirichlet Laplacian on $Ω$ and the resolvent operator on the nearest unit ball $B(x_Ω)$. The distance is measured by the operator norm from $L^{\infty}$ to $L^2$. As a main application, we show that the Faber-Krahn deficit $λ_1(Ω)- λ_1(B)$ controls the squared $L^2$ norm between $k$th eigenfunctions on $Ω$ and $B(x_Ω)$ for every $k \in \mathbb{N}.$ In both of these main theorems, the quadratic power is optimal.

For a bounded open set $Ω\subset \mathbb{R}^n$ with the same volume as the unit ball, the classical Faber-Krahn inequality says that the first Dirichlet eigenvalue $λ_1(Ω)$ of the Laplacian is at least that of the unit ball $B$. We prove that the deficit $λ_1(Ω)- λ_1(B)$ in the Faber-Krahn inequality controls the square of the distance between the resolvent operator $(-Δ_Ω)^{-1}$ for the Dirichlet Laplacian on $Ω$ and the resolvent operator on the nearest unit ball $B(x_Ω)$. The distance is measured by the operator norm from $L^{\infty}$ to $L^2$. As a main application, we show that the Faber-Krahn deficit $λ_1(Ω)- λ_1(B)$ controls the squared $L^2$ norm between $k$th eigenfunctions on $Ω$ and $B(x_Ω)$ for every $k \in \mathbb{N}.$ In both of these main theorems, the quadratic power is optimal.
