Isoperimetric Inequality on Manifolds with Quadratically Decaying Curvature

Abstract: In this paper, we investigate the reverse improvement property of Sobolev inequalities on manifolds with quadratically decaying Ricci curvature. Specifically, we establish conditions under which the uniform decay of the heat kernel implies the validity of an isoperimetric inequality. As an application, we demonstrate the existence of isoperimetric sets in generalized Grushin spaces. Our approach is built on a weak-type Sobolev inequality, gradient estimates on remote balls, and a Hardy-type gluing technique. This method provides new insights into the deep connections between geometric and functional analysis.
