The isoperimetric conjecture for the cubic flat three-torus (balls, tubes, slabs)
Claims the full isoperimetric profile of R3/Z3, I(V)=min{(36π)1/3v2/3,2πv,2}, and a classification of all finite-perimeter minimizers: balls for V≤4π/81, tubes about shortest geodesics for 4π/81≤V≤1/π, coordinate slabs for 1/π≤V≤1/2, complements above 1/2, with exactly the two adjacent types at each transition volume. The new step excludes three- and four-vertex nonstandard configurations at the two transition volumes via nested planar sections. It does NOT treat non-cubic flat tori, the cube with relative perimeter beyond the reflection correspondence, or higher dimensions.
