Abstract:

We study the equilibrium shape of liquid drops minimizing the fractional perimeter under the action of a potential energy. We prove, with a quantitative estimate, that the small volume minimizers are convex and uniformly close to a ball.

Keywords: regularity of minimizers, isoperimetric problem, Liquid drop model, Fractional perimeter
