Hoffman, David (ed.), Global theory of minimal surfaces. Proceedings of the Clay Mathematics Institute 2001 summer school, Berkeley, CA, USA, June 25–July 27, 2001.

Summary: The isoperimetric problem is an active field of research in several areas, such as in differential geometry, discrete and convex geometry, probability, Banach spaces theory and PDEs. In this section we will consider some situations where the problem has been completely solved and some others where it remains open.
