Alexandrov’s soap bubble theorem
From HandWiki
Alexandrov's soap bubble theorem is a mathematical theorem from geometric analysis that characterizes a sphere through the mean curvature. The theorem was proven in 1958 by Alexander Danilovich Alexandrov.[1][2] In his proof he introduced the method of moving planes, which was used after by many mathematicians successfully in geometric analysis.
Soap bubble theorem
Let [math]\displaystyle{ \Omega\subset \mathbb{R}^n }[/math] be a bounded connected domain with a boundary [math]\displaystyle{ \Gamma=\partial\Omega }[/math] that is of class [math]\displaystyle{ C^2 }[/math] with a constant mean curvature, then [math]\displaystyle{ \Gamma }[/math] is a sphere.[3][4]
