Abstract: We give a new proof and a partial generalization of Jean Taylor's result [Ta] that says that Almgren almost-minimal sets of dimension 2 in R3 are locally C1+alpha-equivalent to minimal cones. The proof is rather elementary, but uses a local separation result proved in [D3] and an extension of Reifenberg's parameterization theorem [DDT]. The key idea is still that if X is the cone over an arc of small Lipschitz graph in the unit sphere, but X is not contained in a disk, we can use the graph of a harmonic function to deform X and diminish substantially its area. The local separation result is used to reduce to unions of cones over arcs of Lipschitz graphs. A good part of the proof extends to minimal sets of dimension 2 in Rn, but in this setting our final regularity result on E may depend on the list of minimal cones obtained as blow-up limits of E at a point.
