Motivated by Gamow's liquid drop model in the large mass regime, we consider an isoperimetric problem in which the standard perimeter $P(E)$ is replaced by $P(E)-\gamma P_\varepsilon(E)$, with $0<\gamma<1$ and $P_\varepsilon$ a nonlocal…

An isoperimetric inequality on the Hamming cube for exponents $\beta\ge 0.50057$ is proved, achieving equality on any subcube. This was previously known for $\beta\ge \log_2(3/2)\approx 0.585$. Improved bounds are also obtained at the…
