Abstract:
“The problem of finding sets minimizing the volume with prescribed area surface, known as "isoperimetric problem", dates back to antiquity. However, it has been thoroughly studied up to recent times, and solved, in the Euclidean setting, by De Giorgi in 1958. Moreover, many related problems are still central in contemporary research.

In this seminar we are going to see such a solution, in particular proving the celebrated Isoperimetric Inequality.  A brief introduction to sets of finite perimeter will be provided too”.
