contents Consider a closed curve of length $2π$ with curvature $κ(s)$ and the Schrödinger operator $H$ with $κ^2$ as the potential term. Let $λ_Γ$ be the lowest eigenvalue of $H$. The Ovals Conjecture proposed by Benguria and Loss states that $λ_Γ\ge 1$. While the conjecture remains open, the present work establishes a new lower bound of $0.81$ on $λ_Γ$, improving on the previously best known estimate of $0.6085$.
