An anisotropic Serrin's problem in general domains
Abstract
Serrin's symmetry theorem shows that the classical overdetermined torsion problem forces the domain to be a ball. Extending this rigidity statement to merely Lipschitz (and more generally rough) domains in the weak formulation has been a long-standing and challenging problem, recently resolved by the authors in [12]. In this paper we address the corresponding question in the anisotropic setting: Given a uniformly convex anisotropy , we study the overdetermined problem for the anisotropic Laplacian on a bounded indecomposable set of finite perimeter . Assuming the Ahlfors--David regularity of and a global -number square-function bound (a weak uniform rectifiability hypothesis), we prove that a weak solution exists if and only if is a translate and dilation of the Wulff shape, in which case the solution is unique and explicit. In particular, the result applies to Lipschitz domains. While our approach follows the rough-domain strategy of [12] at a high level, the key Laplacian-specific ingredients exploited there have no direct analog for , necessitating the development of new ideas and techniques.
