Abstract: We study the isoperimetric problem for anisotropic left-invariant perimeter measures on $mathbb{R}^3$, endowed with the Heisenberg group structure. The perimeter is associated with a left-invariant norm $phi$ on the horizontal distribution. We first prove a representation formula for the $phi$-perimeter of regular sets and, assuming some regularity on $phi$ and on its dual norm $ph{i}^{\ast }$, we deduce a foliation property by sub-Finsler geodesics of $mathrm{C}^2$-smooth surfaces with constant $phi$-curvature. We then prove that the characteristic set of $mathrm{C}^2$-smooth surfaces that are locally extremal for the isoperimetric problem is made of isolated points and horizontal curves satisfying a suitable differential equation. Based on such a characterization, we characterize $mathrm{C}^2$-smooth $phi$-isoperimetric sets as the sub-Finsler analogue of Pansu's bubbles. We also show, under suitable regularity properties on $phi$, that such sub-Finsler candidate isoperimetric sets are indeed $mathrm{C}^2$-smooth. By an approximation procedure, we finally prove a conditional minimality property for the candidate solutions in the general case (including the case where $phi$ is crystalline).
