Abstract: It is well known that isoperimetric regions in a smooth compact $(n+1)$-manifold are smooth, up to a closed set of codimension at most $6$. In this note, we first construct an $8$-dimensional compact smooth manifold whose unique isoperimetric region with half volume that of the manifold exhibits two isolated singularities. And then, for $ngeq7$, using Smale's construction of singular homological area minimizers for higher dimensions, we construct a Riemannian manifold such that the unique isoperimetric region of half volume, with singular set the submanifold $S^{n-7}$.
