Abstract: We prove that Hausdorff limit of topological minimal sets (with finitely generated coefficient group) are topologically minimal. The key idea is to reduce the homology group on the space to the homology group on the sphere, and reduce the homology group on the sphere to a finitely representable one, by "glueing" grids with small measure to block local elements in the homology group.

Review text

Let \(U\subset {\mathbb R}^n\) be open and \(E\subset U\) relatively closed with locally finite \(d\)-dimensional Hausdorff measure. \(E\) is called topologically minimal in \(U\) if \({\mathcal H}^{d}(E\setminus F)\leq {\mathcal H}^{d}(F\setminus E)\) for each closed set \(F\subset U\) such that there exists a compact ball \(B\subset U\) with the following properties:NEWLINENEWLINE1. \(E\setminus B = F\setminus B\),NEWLINENEWLINE2. each \((n-d-1)\)-simplicial cycle \(\gamma\subset U\setminus (E\cup B)\) representing a non-zero element in \(H_{n-d-1}(U\setminus E, {\mathbb Z})\) represents a non-zero element in \(H_{n-d-1}(U\setminus F, {\mathbb Z})\), too.NEWLINENEWLINEThe author proves that the Hausdorff limit of a sequence of sets inherits the property of topological minimality.
