Abstract.

It is well-known that for any given volume, the sets that enclose said volume with the least perimeter are balls. What happens when one in place of the standard Euclidean volume and perimeter considers weighted counterparts? Given densities $f: \mathbb{R}^N \to \mathbb{R}^+$ and $h:\mathbb{R}^N \times \mathbb{S}^{N-1} \to \mathbb{R}^+$ to weigh, resp., the volume and the perimeter, we shall discuss under which hypotheses isoperimetric sets exist for all volumes. Furthermore, we shall introduce the $\varepsilon-\varepsilon^\beta$ property, which readily allows to prove boundedness. If time allows, some regularity results shall be discussed. Based on joint works with A. Pratelli (Università di Pisa).
