A surface with discontinuous isoperimetric profile and expander manifolds

Differential Geometry 2019-07-23 v2

Abstract

We construct sequences of `expander manifolds' and we use them to show that there is a complete connected 2-dimensional Riemannian manifold with discontinuous isoperimetric profile, answering a question of Nardulli and Pansu. Using expander manifolds in dimension 3 we show that for any ϵ,M>0\epsilon , M>0 there is a Riemannian 3-sphere SS of volume 1, such that any (not necessarily connected) surface separating SS in two regions of volume greater than ϵ\epsilon , has area greater than MM.
