We discuss some new results for the Cheeger constant in dimension two, including:
- a polygonal version of Faber-Krahn inequality;
- a reverse isoperimetric inequality for convex bodies;
- a Mahler-type inequality in the axisymmetric setting;
- asymptotic behaviour of optimal partition problems.
Based on some recent joint works with D.Bucur,
and for the last part also with B.Velichkov and G.Verzini.
