In this paper, we study a class of Finsler metrics called general $(\alpha,\beta)$-metrics, which are defined by a Riemannian metric $\alpha$ and a $1$-form $\beta$. We classify this class of Finsler metrics with isotropic Berwald curvature…

In this paper we solve several reverse isoperimetric problems in the class of $\lambda$-convex bodies, i.e., convex bodies whose curvature at each point of their boundary is bounded below by some $\lambda > 0$. We give an affirmative answer…

We prove topological regularity results for isoperimetric sets in PI spaces having a suitable deformation property, which prescribes a control on the increment of the perimeter of sets under perturbations with balls. More precisely, we…

We show that, the solutions of the isoperimetric problem for small volumes are $C^{2,\alpha}$-close to small spheres. On the way, we define a class of submanifolds called pseudo balls, defined by an equation weaker than constancy of mean…

We consider the isoperimetric problem for clusters in the plane with a double density, that is, perimeter and volume depend on two weights. In this paper we consider the isotropic case, in the parallel paper "On the Steiner property for…

We show that the second greatest possible dimension of the group of (local) almost isometries of a Finsler metric is $\frac{n^2 -n}{2} +1$ for $n= dim(M)\ne 4 $ and $\frac{n^2 -n}{2} +2 =8$ for $n=4$. If a Finsler metric has the group of…

The isoperimetric problem is one of the oldest in geometry and it consists of finding a surface of minimum area that encloses a given volume $V$. It is particularly important in physics because of its strong relation with stability, and…

Consider the hyperplanes at a fixed distance $t$ from the center of the hypercube $[0,1]^d$. Significant attention has been given to determining the hyperplanes $H$ among these such that the $(d-1)$-dimensional volume of $H\cap[0,1]^d$ is…
