We investigate a phase-field version of the Faber-Krahn theorem based on a phase-field optimization problem introduced by Garcke et al. in their 2023 paper formulated for the principal eigenvalue of the Dirichlet-Laplacian. The shape that is to be optimized is represented by a phase- field function mapping into the interval [0, 1]. We show that any minimizer of our problem is a radially symmetric-decreasing phase-field attaining values close to 0 and 1 except for a thin transition layer whose thickness is of order e > 0. Our proof relies on radially symmetric-decreasing rearrangements and corresponding functional inequalities. Moreover, we provide a P-convergence result which allows us to recover a variant of the Faber-Krahn theorem for sets of finite perimeter in the sharp interface limit.
