Abstract: In the main theorem of this paper we treat the problem of existence of minimizers of the isoperimetric problem under the assumption of small volumes. Applications of the main theorem to asymptotic expansions of the isoperimetric problem are given.


In this paper the author extends his results for isoperimetric regions of small volume in compact manifolds [Ann. Global Anal. Geom. 36, No. 2, 111--131 (2009; Zbl 1175.53048)] to non-compact ones (Theorems 1 and 2) in the class \({\mathcal M}^{m,\alpha}(n,Q,r)\) (Definition 1.4 in the paper). The main problem in the non-compact setting is the possible non-existence of minimizers, treated in Lemma 3.6, where the existence of a limit manifold \(M_\infty\) is proved, in which a minimizer for the original problem exists. The proof of Lemma 3.6 is based on a result on the behavior of minimizing sequences in unbounded manifolds [\textit{M. Ritoré} and \textit{C. Rosales}, Trans. Am. Math. Soc. 356, No. 11, 4601--4622 (2004; Zbl 1057.53023)] together with compactness results in the class \({\mathcal M}^{m,\alpha}(n,Q,r)\). The existence of a limit manifold where an isoperimetric minimizer exists can be traced back to \textit{F. Fiala} [Comment. Math. Helv. 13, 293--346 (1941; Zbl 0025.23003)], and was previously used in [\textit{M. Ritoré}, Commun. Anal. Geom. 9, No. 5, 1093--1138 (2001; Zbl 1018.53003); J. Geom. Anal. 11, No. 3, 509--517 (2001; Zbl 1035.53085)]. It has been generalized by the author in [Asian J. Math. 18, No. 1, 1--28 (2014; Zbl 1297.49081)].
