Why are currents named currents?
The classical electric current density can be modelled as a 2-form
$$J=J_{ij}\wedge dx^{ij}$$
which is assumed to be locally integrable over a 3-manifold (3-dimensional domain) $X$. By integrating $J$ …

Stronger version of the isoperimetric inequality
There is a sharpened version of the plane isoperimetric inequality due to Benson which involves the inner and outer radii. Let $$\Gamma=\{(r,\theta):\ r=r(s),\theta=\theta(s)\}$$ be a simple closed re …

Minimal surface which divides a convex body into two regions of equal volume
Question. Given a convex body $\Omega$, what is the shape of a surface $\Gamma$ of minimal area which divides $\Omega$ into two regions of equal volume?
Background/motivation.
A 2D version of the …

Volumes of n-balls: what is so special about n=5?
I am reposting this question from math.stackexchange where it has not yet generated an answer I had been looking for.
The volume of an $n$-dimensional ball of radius $R$ is given by the classical f …

Planar sets where any line through the center of mass divides the set into two regions of eq...
Assume that $A$ is compact and convex. If there is a point $P$ such that any line through it is a bisector of $A$ then $A$ has to be centrally symmetric. In fact a stronger result is known (see the pa …

Smallest area shape that covers all unit length curve
Whereas I don't know of any recent progress in this problem, let me mention one result for
closed curves.
Theorem. A closed plane curve of length $L$ and curvature bounded by $K$ can be contained …
