Pansu-Wulff shapes in $\mathbb{H}^1$
Abstract
We consider an asymmetric norm $\| \cdot\|_K$ in $\mathbb{R}^2$ induced by a convex body $K\subseteq \mathbb{R}^2$ containing the origin. Associated to $\|\cdot\|_K$ there is a perimeter functional $P_K$ in the Heisenberg group $\mathbb{H}^1$ which coincides with the notion of sub-Riemannian perimeter when $K$ is the unit disk centered at the origin of $\mathbb{R}^2$. Under the assumption that $K$ has $C^2$ boundary with geodesic curvature strictly positive, we can define the mean curvature $H_K$ for sets with $C^2$ boundary out of the singular set by means of the first perimeter formula. The condition of $H_K$ be constant implies that the boundary is foliated, out of the singular set, by curves obtained lifting translations and dilations of $\partial K$. This allows us to define spheres $\mathbb{S}_K$ with constant mean curvature, the Pansu-Wulff spheres. We will see that the interior of the Pansu-Wulff shapes are the only sets that are solution of the sub-Finsler isoperimetric problem in a restricted class of sets.
