Ritoré–Ros isoperimetric conjecture for the cubic three-torus
Let be the flat cubic three-torus, and consider the isoperimetric problem of minimizing perimeter among regions of prescribed volume in . The candidate minimizers are the sphere, cylinder, and slab.
Ritoré–Ros conjecture. The optima for the isoperimetric problem in a cubic are the sphere, cylinder, and slab.
This conjecture concerns the single-bubble problem underlying the double-bubble phase diagram. The source attributes it to Ritoré and Ros and presents it as an unresolved conjecture.
