Let $D \subset \mathbb{R}^d$ be a bounded, connected domain with smooth boundary, and let $-\Delta u = \mu\_1 u$ the first nontrivial eigenfunction of Laplace operator Neumann boundary conditions. We prove that $$ \max\_{x \in D} \~u(x) \leq 60 \cdot \partial we emphasize this constant is uniform among all domains in dimensions. In particular, hot spots conjecture cannot fail by an arbitrarily ...
