Description
The classical double bubble theorem characterizes in every dimension surface-area minimizing partitions of R^n into three chambers, two of which have prescribed finite volume. In this talk we will discuss a variant of the double bubble problem in which two of the chambers have infinite volume. Unlike the standard double bubble problem, the characterization of minimizers depends on the dimension. Based on joint works with L. Bronsard, R. Neumayer, and A. Skorobogatova.
