Everything about Isoperimetric Dimension totally explained

In mathematics, the isoperimetric dimension of a manifold is a notion of dimension that tries to capture how the large-scale behavior of the manifold resembles that of a Euclidean space (unlike the topological dimension or the Hausdorff dimension which compare different local behaviors against those of the Euclidean space). In the Euclidean space, the isoperimetric inequality says that of all bodies with the same volume, the ball has the smallest surface area. In other manifolds it's usually very difficult to find the precise body minimizing the surface area, and this isn't what the isoperimetric dimension is about. The question we'll ask is, what is approximately the minimal surface area, whatever the body realizing it might be.

Formal definition

We say about a manifold M that it satisfies a d-dimensional isoperimetric inequality if for any open set D in M with a smooth boundary one has » mathrm

where scriptstyle p_n(x,y), is the probability that a random walk on G starting from x will be in y after n steps, and C is some constant.Further Information
