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

Abstract

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