Remarks on variational problems for Fefferman's measure

We investigate the Plateau and isoperimetric problems associated to Fefferman’s measure for strongly pseudoconvex real hypersurfaces in $\mathbb C^n$(focusingonthecase$n=2$), showing in particular that the isoperimetric problem shares features of both the euclidean isoperimetric problem and the corresponding problem in Blaschke’s equiaffine geometry in which the key inequalities are reversed. The problems are invariant under constant-Jacobian biholomorphism, but we also introduce a non-trivial modified isoperimetric quantity invariant under general biholomorphism.
