Minimizers of Anisotropic Surface Tensions Under Gravity: Higher Dimensions via Symmetrization

We consider a variational model describing the shape of liquid drops and crystals under the influence of gravity, resting on a horizontal surface. Making use of anisotropic symmetrization techniques, we establish the existence, convexity and symmetry of minimizers for a class of surface tensions adm...
