We present new quantitative estimates for the radially symmetric configuration concerning Serrin's overdetermined problem for the torsional rigidity, Alexandrov's Soap Bubble Theorem, and other related problems. The new estimates improve on…
We consider Serrin's overdetermined problem for the torsional rigidity and Alexandrov's Soap Bubble Theorem. We present new integral identities, that show a strong analogy between the two problems and help to obtain better (in some cases…
The distinguished names in the title have to do with influential proofs of the celebrated Soap Bubble Theorem and of radial symmetry in certain overdetermined boundary value problems. We shall give an overeview of those results and indicate…
In this short note, we deal with Serrin-type problems in Riemannian manifolds. Firstly, we provide a Soap Bubble type theorem and rigidity results. In another direction, we obtain a rigidity result addressed to annular regions in Einstein…
In this report we discuss and propose a correction to a convergence and stability issue occurring in the work of Da et al.[2015], in which they proposed a numerical model to simulate soap bubbles.
We review classical results where the method of the moving planes has been used to prove symmetry properties for overdetermined PDE's boundary value problems (such as Serrin's overdetermined problem) and for rigidity problems in geometric…
In this paper, we deal with Serrin-type problems in Riemannian manifolds. First, we obtain a Heintze-Karcher inequality and a Soap Bubble result, with its respective rigidity, when the ambient space has a Ricci tensor bounded below. After,…
This is my Ph.D. Thesis at Tohoku Univeristy (July 2018). It presents the theory on shape derivatives and focuses on its applications to two-phase optimization problems. In particular, we treat the two-phase torsion problem and a two-phase…
We consider a class of rigidity results in a convex cone $\Sigma \subseteq \mathbb{R}^N$. These include overdetermined Serrin-type problems for a mixed boundary value problem relative to $\Sigma$, Alexandrov's soap bubble-type results…
This is the introduction to the PhD thesis, defended in June 2006. In the original form it was appended with the reprints of the author's published papers, and is to be regarded as their summary. Full details may be found in the quoted…
I expound here in a more detailed way a proof of an important Serini's theorem, which I have already sketched in a previous Note. Two related questions are briefly discussed.
Can you fill R^n with a froth of "soap bubbles" that meet at most n at a time? Not if they have bounded diameter, as follows from Lebesgue's Covering Theorem. We provide some related results and conjectures.
We survey recent advancements in the characterization of multi-bubble isoperimetric minimizers and the stability of soap bubble partitions. We conclude with some related open problems.
It is well known that there is a deep connection between Serrin's symmetry result -- dealing with overdetermined problems involving the Laplacian -- and the celebrated Alexandrov's Soap Bubble Theorem (SBT) -- stating that, if the mean…
We extend an inequality for harmonic functions, obtained in previous research by the authors, to the case of solutions of uniformly elliptic equations in divergence form, with merely measurable coefficients. The inequality for harmonic…
Bishop's volume comparison theorem states that a compact $n$-manifold with Ricci curvature larger than the standard $n$-sphere has less volume. While the traditional proof uses geodesic balls, we present another proof using isoperimetric…
This note surveys some classical results and recent developments on the interplay between lower curvature bounds and the isoperimetric problem. It is based on mini-courses given at the European Doctorate School of Differential Geometry…
In this work, we discuss several results concerning Serrin's problem in convex cones in Riemannian manifolds. First, we present a rigidity result for an overdetermined problem in a class of warped products with Ricci curvature bounded…
In the last two centuries and more particularly in the last decades, the geometry of foams has become an important research domain, in mathematics, physics, material sciences and biology. Most of the simplest geometrical observations of…
This is a survey of the "Fourier symmetry" of measures and distributions on the circle in relation with the size of their support. Mostly it is based on our paper arxiv:1004.3631 and a talk given by the second author in the 2012 Abel…
