A Pólya-Szegö principle for general fractional Orlicz-Sobolev spaces

In this article we prove modular and norm Pólya-Szegö inequalities in general fractional Orlicz-Sobolev spaces by using the polarization technique. We introduce a general framework which includes the different definitions of theses spaces in the literature, and we establish some of its basic properties such as the density of smooth functions. As a corollary we prove a Rayleigh-Faber-Krahn type inequality for Dirichlet eigenvalues under nonlocal nonstandard growth operators.
