The isoperimetric problem on the Heisenberg
Abstract:
I will explain the geometry of a contact form in dimension three. The basic problem is to find the isoperimetric profile in the Heisenberg group. This variational problem is approached via a mean curvature equation. However this equation is not an elliptc equation in this low dimension, hence the problem remains largely open due to regularity issues.
