48 results for Almgren's center manifold

This is the second paper of a series of three on the regularity of higher codimension area minimizing integral currents. Here we perform the second main step in the analysis of the singularities, namely the construction of a center manifold, i.e. an approximate average of the sheets of an almost flat area minimizing cu…

In analogy with Almgren's Theorem for area minimizing currents of general dimension and codimension, we prove that an mm-dimensional semicalibrated current in a (n+m)(n+m)-dimensional C3,ε0C^{3,\varepsilon_0} manifold, semicalibrated by a C2,ε0C^{2,\varepsilon_0} mm-form, has singular set of Hausdorff dimension at most m2m-2.

We show that wealth processes in the block-shaped order book model of Obizhaeva/Wang converge to their counterparts in the reduced-form model proposed by Almgren/Chriss, as the resilience of the order book tends to infinity. As an application of this limit theorem, we explain how to reduce portfolio choice in highly-re…
