In the context of sub-Riemannian Heisenberg groups Hn, n \geq 1, we shall study Isoperimetric Profiles, which are closed compact hypersurfaces having constant horizontal mean curvature, very similar to ellipsoids. Our main goal is to study…

In this article, we will study the isoperimetric problem by introducing a mean curvature type flow in the Riemannian manifold endowed with a non-trivial conformal vector field. This flow preserves the volume of the bounded domain enclosed…

In this paper we consider nonnegatively curved finite dimensional Alexandrov spaces with a non-collapsing condition, i.e., such that unit balls have volumes uniformly bounded from below away from zero. We study the relation between the…

The isoperimetric problem is a classic topic in geometric measure theory, yet critical questions regarding the characterization of optimal solutions -- even asymptotically optimal ones -- remain largely unresolved. In this paper, we…

We use variational arguments to introduce a notion of mean curvature for surfaces in the Heisenberg group H^1 endowed with its Carnot-Carath\'eodory distance. By analyzing the first variation of area, we characterize C^2 stationary surfaces…

We study quantitative isoperimetric inequalities for two different perimeter-type functionals. We first consider classical capillarity functionals, which measure the perimeter of sets in a Euclidean half-space, assigning a constant weight…

Capillarity functionals are parameter invariant functionals defined on classes of two-dimensionals parametric surfaces in R3 as the sum of the area integral with an anisotropic term of suitable form. In the class of parametric surfaces with…

We prove that the $L_4$ norm of the vertical perimeter of any measurable subset of the $3$-dimensional Heisenberg group $\mathbb{H}$ is at most a universal constant multiple of the (Heisenberg) perimeter of the subset. We show that this…

This paper is a continuation of our investigation of the anisotropic conformal change of a conic pseudo-Finsler surface $(M,F)$, namely, the change $\overline{F}(x,y)=e^{\phi(x,y)}F(x,y)$ \cite{first paper}. We obtain the relationship…

We consider the isoperimetric inequality involving the $s$-perimeter and the $t$-perimeter with $0<s<t<1$, and show that the ball is a local minimizer of the (scale-invariant) isoperimetric ratio $\mathcal{F}(E):=P_t(E)^{\frac{1}{n-t}}/…

A set of locally finite perimeter $E \subset \mathbb{R}^{n}$ is called an anisotropic minimal surface in an open set $A$ if $\Phi(E;A) \le \Phi(F;A)$ for some surface energy $\Phi(E;A) = \int_{\partial^{*}E \cap A} \| \nu_{E}\| d…
