On the Isoperimetric Profile of the Hypercube

Abstract: We prove that a subset of the hypercube

(0, 1)^{d}

with volume sufficiently close to

f r a c 12

has (relative) perimeter greater than or equal to

1

. This settles a conjecture by Brezis and Bruckstein. We also prove that, in contrast with what happens for the high-dimensional sphere

m a t h b b S^{d}

, the isoperimetric profile of the hypercube

(0, 1)^{d}

does not converge to the Gaussian isoperimetric profile as

d o i n f t y

.
