Title: An isoperimetric problem for curves on the plane and its connection to
the Lieb-Thirring inequalities

Abstract: In this talk I will make a connection between an open isoperimetric
problem for closed curves on the plane and a conjecture of Lieb and Thirring for
the sharp constant of the Lieb-Thirring inequalities with exponent 1. This is joint
work with Michael Loss.
