Under natural geometric assumptions on the ambient manifold, the strictly outward minimising hull $\\Omega^*$ of a set $\\Omega$ is characterised as a maximal volume solution of the least area problem with obstacle, where the obstacle is the set itself. In the case where $\\Omega$ has $\\mathscr{C}^{1, \\alpha}$-boundary, the area of $\\partial \\Omega^*$ is recovered as the limit of the $p$-capacities of $\\Omega$, as $p \\to 1^+$. Finally, building on the existence of strictly outward minimising exhaustions, a sharp isoperimetric inequality is deduced on complete noncompact manifolds with nonnegative Ricci curvature, provided $3 \\leq n \\leq 7$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2020-12-17T10:29:52.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "complete riemannian manifolds", "strictly outward minimising hull", "complete noncompact riemannian manifold", "p-capacity", "sharp isoperimetric inequality" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
