Dirichlet eigenvalue sums on triangles are minimal for equilaterals

Among all triangles of given diameter, the equilateral triangle is shown to minimize the sum of the first $n$ eigenvalues of the Dirichlet Laplacian, for each $n \geq 1$. In addition, the first, second and third eigenvalues are each proved to be minimal for the equilateral triangle. The disk is conjectured to be the minimizer among general domains.
