Abstract. We prove several isoperimetric inequalities for the conformal radius (or equivalently for the Poincaré density) of polygons on the hyperbolic plane. Our results include, as limit cases, the isoperimetric inequality for the conformal radius of Euclidean n-gons conjectured by G. Pólya and G. Szegö in 1951 and a similar inequality for the hyperbolic n-gons of the maximal hyperbolic area conjectured by J. Hersch. Both conjectures have been proved in previous papers by the third author.Our approach uses the method based on a special triangulation of polygons and weighted inequalities for the reduced modules of trilaterals developed by A. Yu. Solynin. We also employ the dissymmetrization transformation of V. N. Dubinin. As an important part of our proofs, we obtain monotonicity and convexity results for special combinations of the Euler gamma functions, which appear to have a significant interest in their own right.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
