The cubical minimizers conjecture for the relative isoperimetric problem
The cubical minimizers conjecture for the relative isoperimetric problem
Let be the unit cube in , and let a cubical subset be a compact subset of whose boundary is contained in finitely many hyperplanes with outer normal vectors in , where is the standard basis. For , consider the relative isoperimetric problem of minimizing the perimeter inside the cube among cubical subsets of volume . The cubical minimizers conjecture. Up to isometries of and sets of measure , the minimizers are of the form
for some and . This is the cubical analogue of the spheres-tubes-slabs conjecture. The conjecture is presented as an open problem; the supplied text does not give a resolution status.
