Hauswirth–Pérez–Romon–Ros isoperimetric conjecture for flat torus products
Let be a flat -torus, and consider the isoperimetric problem in .
Hauswirth–Pérez–Romon–Ros conjecture. The only solutions of the isoperimetric problem in are spheres, cylinders, and pairs of horizontal planes.
The conjecture concerns the classification of isoperimetric minimizers in a flat torus product. The paper constructs a counterexample, showing that a Lawson-type family can have smaller area than the conjectured competitors near the transition from cylinders to pairs of planes.
