Alexandrov theorem for general nonlocal curvatures: the geometric impact of the kernel. (English. French summary) Zbl 1503.53088
Summary: For a general radially symmetric, non-increasing, non-negative kernel \(h\in L_{\mathrm{loc}}^1(\mathbb{R}^d)\), we study the rigidity of measurable sets in \(\mathbb{R}^d\) with constant nonlocal \(h\)-mean curvature. Under a suitable “improved integrability” assumption on \(h\), we prove that these sets are finite unions of equal balls, as soon as they satisfy a natural nondegeneracy condition. Both the radius of the balls and their mutual distance can be controlled from below in terms of suitable parameters depending explicitly on the measure of the level sets of \(h\). In the simplest, common case, in which \(h\) is positive, bounded and decreasing, our result implies that any bounded open set or any bounded measurable set with finite perimeter which has constant nonlocal \(h\)-mean curvature has to be a ball.
