A Liouville-type theorem for cylindrical cones

Abstract: Suppose that

m a t h b f C_{0}^{n} s u b s e t m a t h b b R^{n + 1}

is a smooth strictly minimizing and strictly stable minimal hypercone,

l g e q 0

, and

M

a complete embedded minimal hypersurface of

m a t h b b R^{n + 1 + l}

lying to one side of

m a t h b f C = m a t h b f C_{0} i m e s m a t h b b R^{l}

. If the density at infinity of

M

is less than twice the density of

m a t h b f C

, then we show that

M = H (l a m b d a) i m e s m a t h b b R^{l}

, where

{H (l a m b d a)}_{l} a m b d a

is the Hardt-Simon foliation of

m a t h b f C_{0}

. This extends a result of L. Simon, where an additional smallness assumption is required for the normal vector of

M

.
