Regularity of branched stable minimal immersed hypersurfaces
Abstract
We establish a sharp bound on the Hausdorff dimension of the non-branch singular set of branched stable minimal immersed hypersurfaces whose singular sets have locally finite ℋn−2-measure: the non-branch singular set is empty when n=2, discrete when n=3, and has Hausdorff dimension at most n−3 when n≥4. We also construct a non-flat stable minimal cone in ℝ4 arising from a branched minimal immersion whose vertex is a non-branch singularity. Taking products with Euclidean factors yields examples whose non-branch singular sets have Hausdorff dimension exactly n−3, showing that our regularity bound is sharp in every dimension n≥3. The main ingredients in our proof are a generalized Schoen inequality and a corresponding branched sheeting theorem near stationary classical cones and unions of hyperplanes.
