Abstract:
The isoperimetric problem in spaces (both smooth and non-smooth) with a
certain lower bound on the Ricci curvature has been solved in increasing
generality with different approaches, in both the compact and
non-compact setting. In the non-compact setting, the classical
isoperimetric inequality was generalized to the class of manifolds with
non-negative Ricci curvature, coupled with a constraint on the volume
growth of large balls (the Euclidean volume growth). The equality case
was characterized as well.
The irreversibilty of Finsler manifold (i.e., the fact that the induced
distance is not symmetric) severely harms the isoperimetric problem:
most well-known isoperimetric inequalities valid for Riemannian
manifolds do not have an analogous counterpart for irreversible Finsler
manifolds, or their counterpart is not sharp. The characterization of
the equality case is far from being reached.
In this talk, I will present a sharp isoperimetric inequality for
possibly irreversible Finsler manifolds with non-negative Ricci
curvature, having Euclidean volume growth. I will also characterize the
equality case and present an application to the weighted anisotropic
isoperimetric problem in Euclidean cones.
