Proof of Bishop's volume comparison theorem using singular soap bubbles
From MaRDI portal
Abstract: Bishop's volume comparison theorem states that a compact -manifold with Ricci curvature larger than the standard -sphere has less volume. While the traditional proof uses geodesic balls, we present another proof using isoperimetric hypersurfaces, also known as "soap bubbles," which minimize area for a given volume. Curiously, isoperimetric hypersurfaces can have codimension 7 singularities, an interesting challenge we are forced to overcome.
