Free energy minimizers with radial densities: classification and quantitative stability

We study the isoperimetric problem with a potential energy $g$ in $\mathbb{R}^n$ weighted by a radial density $f$ and analyze the geometric properties of minimizers. Notably, we construct two counterexamples demonstrating that, in contrast to the classical isoperimetric case $g = 0$, the condition $\ln(f)'' + g' \geq 0$ does not generally guarantee the global optimality of centered spheres. However, we demonstrate that centered spheres are globally optimal when both $f$ and $g$ are monotone. Additionally, we strengthen this result by deriving a sharp quantitative stability inequality.

Quantitative $C^1$-stability of spheres in rank one symmetric spaces of non-compact type

We prove that in any rank one symmetric space of non-compact type $M\in\{\mathbb{R} H^n,\mathbb{C} H^m,\mathbb{H} H^m,\mathbb{O} H^2\}$, geodesic spheres are uniformly quantitatively stable with respect to small $C^1$-volume preserving perturbations. We quantify the gain of perimeter in terms of the $W^{1,2}$-norm of the perturbation, taking advantage of the explicit spectral gap of the Laplacian on geodesic spheres in $M$. As a consequence, we give a quantitative proof that for small volumes, geodesic spheres are isoperimetric regions among all sets of finite perimeter.

Approaching the isoperimetric problem in $H^m_{\mathbb{C}}$ via the hyperbolic log-convex density conjecture

We prove that geodesic balls centered at some base point are isoperimetric in the real hyperbolic space $H_{\mathbb R}^n$ endowed with a smooth, radial, strictly log-convex density on the volume and perimeter. This is an analogue of the result by G. R. Chambers for log-convex densities on $\mathbb R^n$. As an application we prove that in any rank one symmetric space of non-compact type, geodesic balls are isoperimetric in a class of sets enjoying a suitable notion of radial symmetry.

Local existence of smooth solutions for the semigeostrophic equations on curved domains

We prove local-in-time existence of smooth solutions to the semigeostrophic equations in the general setting of smooth, bounded and simply connected domains of $\mathbb{R}^2$ endowed with an arbitrary conformally flat metric and non-vanishing Coriolis term. We present a construction taking place in Eulerian coordinates, avoiding the classical reformulation in dual variables, used in the flat case with constant Coriolis force, but lacking in this general framework.
