In this article we consider the isoperimetric problem for partitioning the plane into three disjoint domains, one having unit area and the remaining two having infinite area. We show that the only solution, up to rigid motions of the plane,…

The classical double bubble theorem characterizes the minimizing partitions of $\mathbb{R}^n$ into three chambers, two of which have prescribed finite volume. In this paper we prove a variant of the double bubble theorem in which two of the…

(N, M)-clusters are partitions of $\mathbb{R}^d$ into N+M regions, where N chambers have prescribed finite measure and M chambers have infinite measure. Locally minimizing clusters are the configurations which minimize the perimeter among…

We prove a quantitative estimate on the number of certain singularities in almost minimizing clusters. In particular, we consider the singular points belonging to the lowest stratum of the Federer-Almgren stratification (namely, where each…

We rigorously show the existence of a rotationally and centrally symmetric "lens-shaped" cluster of three surfaces, meeting at a smooth common circle, forming equal angles of 120 degrees, self-shrinking under the motion by mean curvature.

We study area-minimizing hypersurfaces in singular ambient manifolds whose tangent cones have nonnegative scalar curvature on their regular parts. We prove that the singular set of the hypersurface has codimension at least 3 in our…

We prove existence of partitions of an open set $\Omega$ with a given number of phases, which minimize the sum of the fractional perimeters of all the phases, with Dirichlet boundary conditions. In two dimensions we show that, if the…

We consider three dimensional piecewise linear cones in $\mathbb{R}^4$ that are mass minimizing w.r.t. Lipschitz maps in the sense of \cite{almgren1976existence} as in \cite{Taylor76}. There are three that arise naturally by taking products…

We show existence of a isoperimetric $3$-partition of $\mathbb R^8$, with one set of finite volume and two of infinite volume, which is asymptotic to a singular minimal cone.

We show that a set of K-semistable log Fano cone singularities is bounded if and only if their local volumes are bounded away from zero, and their minimal log discrepancies of Koll\'ar components are bounded from above. As corollaries, we…

The notion of a layered triangulation of a lens space was defined by Jaco and Rubinstein in earlier work, and, unless the lens space is L(3,1), a layered triangulation with the minimal number of tetrahedra was shown to be unique and termed…

We prove that in any fixed dimension, K-semistable log Fano cone singularities whose volumes are bounded from below by a fixed positive number form a bounded set. As a consequence, we show that the set of local volumes of klt singularities…

Locally isoperimetric $N$-partitions are partitions of the space $\mathbb R^d$ into $N$ regions with prescribed, finite or infinite measure, which have minimal perimeter (which is the $(d-1)$-dimensional measure of the interfaces between…

Let X be a singular affine normal variety with coordinate ring R and assume that there is an R-order admitting a stability structure such that the scheme of relevant semistable representations is smooth, then we construct a partial…

We construct non-flat minimal capillary cones with bi-orthogonal symmetry groups for any dimension and contact angle. These cones interpolate between rescalings of a singular solution to the one-phase problem and the free-boundary cone…

We study three-dimensional microlensing where two lenses are located at different distances along the line of sight. We formulate the lens equation in complex notations and recover several previous results. There are in total either 4 or 6…

It is shown that $3$ disjoint sets with fixed Gaussian volumes that partition $\mathbb{R}^{n}$ with nearly minimum total Gaussian surface area must be close to adjacent $120$ degree sectors, when $n\geq2$. These same results hold for any…

We construct finite sets of real numbers that have a small difference set and strong local properties. In particular, we construct a set $A$ of $n$ real numbers such that $|A-A|=n^{\log_2 3}$ and that every subset $A'\subseteq A$ of size…

We extend Smale's singular bridge principle [Ann. of Math. 130 (1989), 603-642] for $n$-dimensional strictly stable minimal cones in $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ $(n \geq 7$) to arbitrary codimension and each $n \geq 3$. We then apply the procedure…

We prove some uniqueness results for conics of minimal area that enclose a compact, full-dimensional subset of the elliptic plane. The minimal enclosing conic is unique if its center or axes are prescribed. Moreover, we provide sufficient…
