The study of the optimal constant 𝒦q(Ω) in the Sobolev inequality ||u||Lq(Ω)≤1/𝒦q(Ω)||Du||(ℝn), 1≤q<1*, for BV functions which are zero outside and with zero mean value inside , leads to the definition of a Cheeger type constant. We are interested in finding the best possible embedding constant in terms of the measure of alone. We set up an optimal shape problem and we completely characterize, on varying the exponent , the behaviour of optimal domains. Among other things we establish the existence of a threshold value 1≤q̅<1* above which the symmetry of optimal domains is broken. Several differences between the cases and are emphasized.
