Abstract: In 1960 Reifenberg proved the topological disc property. He showed that a subset of $R^n$ which is well approximated by $m$-dimensional affine spaces at each point and at each (small) scale is locally a bi-H"older image of the unit ball in $R^m$. In this paper we prove that a subset of $R^3$ which is well approximated by a minimal cone at each point and at each (small) scale is locally a bi-H"older deformation of a minimal cone. We also prove an analogous result for more general cones in $R^n$

Review text

\textit{E.~R.~Reifenberg} [Acta Math. 104, 1--92 (1960; Zbl 0099.08503)] formulated the Plateau problem for \(m\)-dimensional surfaces of varying topological type in \(\mathbb R^ k\) and proved that a given set \(\Gamma\subset\mathbb R^ k\) homeomorphic to \(\mathbb S^{m-1}\) bounds a set \(\Sigma_ 0\) which minimizes the \(\mathcal H^ m\) Hausdorff measure among all sets in the appropriate class and he showed that for almost every \(x\in\Sigma_ 0\) there exists a neighborhood of \(x\) which is a topological disk of dimension \(m\). Finally, it was shown that if a set is close to an \(m\)-plane in the Hausdorff distance sense at all points and at all scales, then it is locally bi-Hölder equivalent to a ball of \(\mathbb R^ m\). In this paper, the authors prove that a subset of \(\mathbb R^ 3\) which is well approximated in the Hausdorff distance sense by one of the three standard area-minimizing cones at each point and at each scale is locally a bi-Hölder deformation of a minimal cone. Also, they prove an analogous result for more general cones in \(\mathbb R^ n\).
