On the singular structure of two-dimensional area minimizing surfaces in R^ n

From MaRDI portal
Publication:800632





The author investigates which combinations of planes through the origin minimize area and applies this theory to the tangent cone to any area minimizing surface. The main results are: (1) A tangent cone to an oriented two-dimensional area minimizing surface in \(R^ n\) consists entirely of complex planes, (2) In some neighbourhood of an interior singular point a, an oriented two-dimensional area minimizing surface in \(R^ n\) consists of at most n/2 manifolds, which intersect orthogonally at a.
