We have decided to discontinue the publication of preprints on our preprint server as of 1 March 2024. The publication culture within mathematics has changed so much due to the rise of repositories such as ArXiV (www.arxiv.org) that we are encouraging all institute members to make their preprints available there. An institute's repository in its previous form is, therefore, unnecessary. The preprints published to date will remain available here, but we will not add any new preprints here.

The perimeter inequality for Steiner symmetrization: cases of equality
Miroslav Chlebík, Andrea Cianchi and Nicola Fusco
Abstract
Steiner symmetrization is known not to increase perimeter of sets in R^n. The sets whose perimeter is preserved under this symmetrization are characterized in the present paper.
