Abstract.

In this talk, I will explain the main components of the proof of the Log-Convex Density Conjecture. This conjecture, due to K. Brakke, asserts that balls centered at the origin are isoperimetric regions in Euclidean space endowed with a positive density which is smooth, radially symmetric, and log-convex. I will also show that these are the only isoperimetric regions, unless the density is constant on some ball.
