Approximation and relaxation of perimeter in the Wiener space
Annales de l'I.H.P. Analyse non linéaire, Volume 29 (2012) no. 4, pp. 525-544.

We characterize the relaxation of the perimeter in an infinite dimensional Wiener space, with respect to the weak L 2 -topology. We also show that the rescaled Allen–Cahn functionals approximate this relaxed functional in the sense of Γ-convergence.
