Foams and Minimal Surfaces

The planar soap bubble problem looks for the least-perimeter configuration of planar curves enclosing regions Ri of prescribed areas ai, with i=1,,n. It is known that these minimizing configurations satisfy Plateaus laws. However, in the most general setting, the regions in a minimizing configuration might not be connected, and so some area ai could be enclosed by a region Ri with several components. This is the main difficulty of this problem, since a lot of configurations have to be taken into account. In this talk, we will review the main results obtained for this problem, and discuss new directions for attacking it.
