Abstract: We study the regularity of the interface for a new free boundary problem introduced by Caffarelli and Kriventsov. We show that for minimizers of the functional [ F_1(A,u) = int_A | abla u|^2 dmathcal{L}^n + int_{partial A} u^2 + �ar{C} mathcal{L}^n(A) ] over all pairs (A,u) of open sets A containing a fixed set Omega and functions uinH1(A) which equal 1 on Omega, the boundary partialA locally coincides with the union of the graphs of two C1,alpha functions near most points. Specifically, this happens at all points where the interface is trapped between two planes which are sufficiently close together. The proof combines ideas introduced by Ambrosio, Fusco, and Pallara for the Mumford-Shah functional with new arguments specific to the problem considered.
