Concavity conjecture for the double-bubble profile in the three-torus
Concavity conjecture for the double-bubble profile in the three-torus
Let be the flat cubic three-torus, and for two prescribed volumes let denote the least area required to enclose and separate those volumes.
Concavity conjecture. The least area to enclose and separate two given volumes in the three-torus is a concave function of the volumes.
The authors describe this as a deeper conjectural analogue of known concavity phenomena in Euclidean bubble problems. They establish only an elementary symmetry-related result toward it.
