Jul 22, 2023 at 16:39 comment added Stefan Steinerberger I'd definitely be interested!!
Jul 21, 2023 at 1:58 comment added fedja @StefanSteinerberger OK, I believe that we (I and Dmitry Ryabogin) can prove it in full generality in 2D as conjectured. For $n>2$ it fails even for some symmetric sets. Let me know if anybody still cares and, if yes, I'll try to post the argument :-)
Jul 17, 2023 at 11:59 comment added fedja It is true for symmetric domains in 2D. Not sure about the coinciding centers of mass condition yet.
Jun 4, 2023 at 2:15 comment added Lev Borisov I think that the problem can essentially be reduced to convex polytopes and piecewise linear functions. If there were a counterexample, one should be able to approximate both the function and the region, while keeping the centers of mass equality.
May 28, 2023 at 19:57 comment added Stefan Steinerberger The unit ball is naturally special and stronger things can be said: there, the inequality is actually true for all subharmonic functions with constant 1 (this follows relatively quickly from the maximum principle and the mean value theorem for harmonic functions). As for the ellipse: I don't think this is likely to be a counterexample, the level sets {|x| = c} get shorter when c gets large while the boundary measure stays roughly constant.
