Résumé
The aim of this seminar is to present some results about minimal bubble clusters in some sub-Riemannian spaces. This amounts to find the best configuration of $min mathbb N$ regions in a manifold enclosing given volumes, in order to minimize their total perimeter. In a $n$-dimensional sub-Riemannian manifold, the perimeter is a non-isotropic $(n-1)$-dimensional measure that is defined according to the geometry. After an introduction to the subject, we will present some results concerning the cases $m=1$ (isoperimetric problem) and $m=2$ (double bubble problem), in a class of sub-Riemannian structures connected to the Heisenberg geometry. This is the framework of an open problem about the shape of isoperimetric sets, known as Pansu’s conjecture. We start by presenting the isoperimetric problem in Grushin spaces and Heisenberg type groups, under a symmetry assumption that depends on the dimension (based on joint work with R. Monti, University of Padova). We conclude by showing some recent results in collaboration with Giorgio Stefani (SNS, Pisa) concerning the double bubble problem in the Grushin plane.
