Isoperimetry in two-dimensional percolation

Consider super-critical bond percolation on ℤ² (the square lattice). We prove the Cheeger constant of the super-critical percolation cluster restricted to finite boxes scales a.s to a deterministic quantity. This quantity is given by the solution to the isoperimetric problem on ℝ² with respect to a specific norm. We also prove every set achieving the Cheeger constant converges to the deterministic Wulff crystal, with respect to the same norm.
