Proof of the double bubble conjecture in \(\mathbb R^n\) (Q941846): Difference between revisions

The author extend the proof of the double bubble theorem from \(\mathbb R^3\) [see \textit{M. Hutchings, F. Morgan, M. Ritoré} and \textit{A. Ros}, Ann. Math. (2) 155, No. 2, 459--489 (2002; Zbl 1009.53007); \textit{B. W. Reichardt, C. Heilmann, Y. Y. Lai} and \textit{A. Spielman}, Pac. J. Math. 208, No. 2, 347--366 (2003; Zbl 1056.53007)] to \(\mathbb R^n\). The main result states that the least-area hypersurface enclosing and separating two given volumes in \(\mathbb R^n\) is the standard double soap bubble, consisting of three \((n-1)\)-dimensional spherical caps intersecting at \(120^\circ\) angles.
