Abstract

Given 2 ≤ kn, the minimal (n − 1)-dimensional Gaussian measure of the union of the boundaries of \(k\) disjoint sets of equal Gaussian measure in \({\mathbb{R}}^{n}\) whose union is \({\mathbb{R}}^{n}\) is of order \(\sqrt{\log k}\). A similar results holds also for partitions of the sphere S n − 1 into k sets of equal Haar measure.

Footnotes
1
One may think that the right quantity should be \(\sqrt{2\pi \log k}/2\) since (almost) every boundary point is counted twice but our Definition 1 is such that almost every boundary point is counted with multiplicity of the number of sets in the partition it is on the boundary of. In any case, absolute constants do not play a significant role here.
