L2 Curvature Bounds for Area-Minimizing Currents Mod(2)
Abstract
We prove \emph{a priori} interior L2 bounds for the second fundamental form of area-minimizing currents modulo $2$ in every dimension n≥ 2 and arbitrary codimension. The bounds depend only on the dimension, codimension, and an upper bound for the mass. As a corollary, we show that area-minimizing surfaces modulo $2$ with bounded area lie in finitely many diffeomorphism classes. This answers a question of \cite{Liu2020WeakCounterexamples}.
