Abstract
It is well known that isoperimetric regions in a smooth compact -manifold are smooth, up to a closed set of codimension at most . In this note, we first construct an -dimensional compact smooth manifold whose unique isoperimetric region with half volume that of the manifold exhibits two isolated singularities. And then, for , using Smale's construction of singular homological area minimizers for higher dimensions, we construct a Riemannian manifold such that the unique isoperimetric region of half volume, with singular set the submanifold .

We improve the result of the existence of singular isoperimetric regions to all high dimensions. All comments are welcome!
