Periodic stationary sets for the fractional perimeter with a general kernel

The aim of this master's thesis is to construct some periodic sets in the plane with constant nonlocal (or fractional) mean curvature induced by general anisotropic kernels. Inspired by the article \cite{bib1} by Cabré, Moustapha, Solà-Morales and Weth, we employ a Lyapunov-Schmidt reduction te...

Sumario:The aim of this master's thesis is to construct some periodic sets in the plane with constant nonlocal (or fractional) mean curvature induced by general anisotropic kernels. Inspired by the article \cite{bib1} by Cabré, Moustapha, Solà-Morales and Weth, we employ a Lyapunov-Schmidt reduction technique. This approach yields a family of periodic perturbations of an infinite band. To understand the framework and the tools used in the procedure, we introduce fractional Sobolev spaces and the fractional Laplacian. Furthermore, after reviewing the classical theory of minimal surfaces, we extrapolate these concepts into a nonlocal context, obtaining the fractional perimeter and the nonlocal mean curvature. Additionally, we prove the existence of solutions to the Dirichlet problem for the fractional Laplacian.
