Rigidity results for variational infinity ground states

Abstract

We prove two rigidity results for a variational infinity ground state $u$ of an open bounded convex domain $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^n$. They state that $u$ coincides with a multiple of the distance from the boundary of $\Omega$ if either $|\nabla u|$ is constant on $\partial \Omega$, or $u$ is of class $C ^ {1,1}$ outside the high ridge of $\Omega$. Consequently, in both cases $\Omega$ can be geometrically characterized as a "stadium-like domain".
