Abstract

We show existence and we give a geometric characterization of isoperimetric regions for large volumes, in $C^2$-locally asymptotically Euclidean Riemannian manifolds with a finite number of $C^0$-asymptotically Schwarzschild ends. This work extends previous results contained in [EM13b], [EM13a], and [BE13]. Moreover strengthening a little bit the speed of convergence to the Schwarzschild metric we obtain existence of isoperimetric regions for all volumes for a class of manifolds that we named $C^0$-strongly asymptotic Schwarzschild, extending results of [BE13]. Such results are of interest in the field of mathematical general relativity.
