Abstract

We derive a sharp scaling law for deviations of edge-isoperimetric sets in the lattice Zd\mathbb Z^d from the limiting Wulff shape in arbitrary dimensions. As the number nn of elements diverges, we prove that the symmetric difference to the corresponding Wulff set consists of at most O(n(d1+21d)/d)O(n^{(d-1+2^{1-d})/d}) lattice points and that the exponent (d1+21d)/d(d-1+2^{1-d})/d is optimal. This extends the previously found `n3/4n^{3/4} laws' for d=2,3d=2,3 to general dimensions. As a consequence we obtain optimal estimates on the rate of convergence to the limiting Wulff shape as nn diverges.
