Isoperimetric surfaces with boundary
We prove that many common combinations of soap films and soap bubbles that result from dipping polyhedral wire frames in a soap solution are minimizing with respect to their boundary and bubble volume. This can be thought of as a combination of the Plateau problem of least area for surfaces spanning a given boundary and the isoperimetric problem of least area for surfaces enclosing a given volume. Proof is given in arbitrary dimension using a combination of the mapping of Gromov, after Knothe, and the paired calibrations of Lawlor and Morgan.
