Abstract

In this paper, aimed at exploring the fundamental properties of isoperimetric region in $3$-manifold $(M^3, g)$ which is asymptotic to Anti-de Sitter–Schwarzschild manifold with scalar curvature $R \geq -6$, we prove that a connected isoperimetric region $\lbrace D_i \rbrace$ with $\mathcal{H} \frac{3}{g} (D_i) \geq \delta_0 \gt 0$ cannot slide off to the infinity of $(M^3, g)$ provided that $(M^3, g)$ is not isometric to the hyperbolic space. Furthermore, we prove that isoperimetric region $\lbrace D_i \rbrace$ with topological sphere $\lbrace \partial D_i \rbrace$ as its boundary is exhausting regions of $M$ if the Hawking mass $m_H (\partial D_i)$ has uniform bound. In the case of exhausting isoperimetric region, we obtain a formula on expansion of isoperimetric profile in terms of the renormalized volume.
