Abstract: It is shown that $m$ disjoint sets with fixed Gaussian volumes that partition $mathbb{R}^n$ with minimum Gaussian surface area must be $(m-1)$-dimensional. This follows from a second variation argument using infinitesimal translations. The special case $m=3$ proves the Double Bubble problem for the Gaussian measure, with an extra technical assumption. That is, when $m=3$, the three minimal sets are adjacent $120$ degree sectors. The technical assumption is that the triple junction points of the minimizing sets have polynomial volume growth. Assuming again the technical assumption, we prove the $m=4$ Triple Bubble Conjecture for the Gaussian measure. Our methods combine the Colding-Minicozzi theory of Gaussian minimal surfaces with some arguments used in the Hutchings-Morgan-Ritor'{e}-Ros proof of the Euclidean Double Bubble Conjecture.
