Isoperimetric estimates in low-dimensional Riemannian products

Abstract: Let

(T^{k}, h_{k}) = (S_{r_{1}}^{1} i m e s S_{r_{2}}^{1} i m e s ... i m e s S_{r_{k}}^{1}, d t_{1}^{2} + d t_{2}^{2} + ... + d t_{k}^{2})

be flat tori,

r_{k} g e q ... g e q r_{2} g e q r_{1} > 0

and

(m a t h b b R^{n}, g_{E})

the Euclidean space with the flat metric. We compute the isoperimetric profile of

(T^{2} i m e s m a t h b b R^{n}, h_{2} + g_{E})

,

2 l e q n l e q 5

, for small and big values of the volume. These computations give explicit lower bounds for the isoperimetric profile of

T^{2} i m e s m a t h b b R^{n}

. We also note that similar estimates for

(T^{k} i m e s m a t h b b R^{n}, h_{k} + g_{E})

,

2 l e q k l e q 5

,

2 l e q n l e q 7 - k

, may be computed, provided estimates for

(T^{k - 1} i m e s m a t h b b R^{n + 1}, h_{k - 1} + g_{E})

exist. We compute this explicitly for

k = 3

. We use symmetrization techniques for product manifolds, based on work of A. Ros and F. Morgan.

Review text

Given a Riemannian manifold \((M^n,g)\) of volume \(V\), then an isoperimetric region of volume \(t\), \(0<t<V\), is a closed region \(\Omega\) having volume \(V^n(\Omega)=t\), such that its boundary area is minimal among the compact hypersurfaces enclosing a region of volume \(t\). The isoperimetric profile of \((M^n,g)\) is the function \(I_{(M,g)}:(0,V)\rightarrow (0,\infty)\) given by \[I_{(M,g)}(t)=\inf\{V^{n-1}(\partial U):V^n(U)=t, U\subset M^n,\ U \text{ a closed region} \}.\] The authors in this article study the isoperimetric profile of \((T^2\times \mathbb{R}^n, h_2+g_E), 2\leq n\leq 5\), for small and big values of the volume and give a lower bounds for the isoperimetric profile of \(T^2\times \mathbb{R}^n\).
