We prove existence and regularity of minimizers for Hölder densities over general surfaces of arbitrary dimension and codimension in \(\R^n \), satisfying a cohomological boundary condition, providing a natural dual to Reifenberg's Plateau problem. We generalize and extend methods of Reifenberg, Besicovitch, and Adams,…

We provide a Reifenberg type characterization for $m$-dimensional $C^1$-submanifolds of $\mathbb R^n$. This characterization is also equivalent to Reifenberg-flatness with vanishing constant combined with suitably converging approximating $m$-planes. Moreover, a sufficient condition can be given by the finiteness of th…

This paper improves Reifenberg's theorem for almost calibrated sets, ensuring rectifiability with volume bounds.

Unified proof of smooth fibration theorems for collapsed manifolds.

The paper proves fibration theorems for manifolds with almost nonnegative Ricci curvature.

These series of notes serve as an introduction to some of both the classical and modern techniques in Reifenberg theory. At its heart, Reifenberg theory is about studying general sets or measures which can be, in one sense or another, approximated on all scales by well behaved spaces, typically just Euclidean space its…

We study the existence and uniqueness of smooth mean curvature flow, in arbitrary dimension and co-dimension, emanating from so called $k$-dimensional $(\varepsilon,R)$ Reifenberg flat sets in $\mathbb{R}^n$. Our results generalize the ones from a previous paper by the author, in which the co-dimension one case (i.e. $…

We study generalizations of Reifenberg's Theorem for measures in $\mathbb R^n$ under assumptions on the Jones' $β$-numbers, which appropriately measure how close the support is to being contained in a subspace. Our main results, which holds for general measures without density assumptions, give effective measure bounds…

The study defines a canonical nilpotent structure for certain collapsed manifolds.

The aim of this article is to study effective Reifenberg theorems for measures in a Hilbert or Banach space. For Hilbert spaces, we see all the results from $\mathbb{R}^n$ continue to hold with no additional restrictions. For a general Banach spaces we will see that the classical Reifenberg theorem holds, and that a we…

In this paper, we study the critical case of the Allard regularity theorem. Combining with Reifenberg's topological disk theorem, we get a critical Allard-Reifenberg type regularity theorem. As a main result, we get the topological finiteness for a class of properly immersed surfaces in $\mathbb{R}^n$ with finite Willm…

Harmonic maps to Euclidean buildings have rectifiable singular strata.

In this paper we study the regularity of stationary and minimizing harmonic maps $f:B_2(p)\subseteq M\to N$ between Riemannian manifolds. If $S^k(f)\equiv\{x\in M: \text{ no tangent map at $x$ is }k+1\text{-symmetric}\}$ is $k^{th}$-stratum of the singular set of $f$, then it is well known that $\dim S^k\leq k$, howeve…

In 1960 Reifenberg proved the topological disc property. He showed that a subset of $R^n$ which is well approximated by $m$-dimensional affine spaces at each point and at each (small) scale is locally a bi-Hölder image of the unit ball in $R^m$. In this paper we prove that a subset of $R^3$ which is well approximated b…

In this paper, we prove short time existence and uniqueness of smooth evolution by mean curvature in $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ starting from any $n$-dimensional $(\varepsilon,R)$-Reifenberg flat set with $\varepsilon$ sufficiently small. More precisely, we show that the level set flow in such a situation is non-fattening and …

We study here limit spaces $(M_α,g_α,p_α)\stackrel{GH}{\rightarrow} (Y,d_Y,p)$, where the $M_α$ have a lower Ricci curvature bound and are volume noncollapsed. Such limits $Y$ may be quite singular, however it is known that there is a subset of full measure $\cR(Y)\subseteq Y$, called {\it regular} points, along with c…

In this article we extend to generic $p$-energy minimizing maps between Riemannian manifolds a regularity result which is known to hold in the case $p=2$. We first show that the set of singular points of such a map can be quantitatively stratified: we classify singular points based on the number of almost-symmetries of…

Paper provides estimates for varifolds with critical mean curvature.

This paper studies limits of aspherical manifolds with specific curvature conditions.

We study collapsed manifolds with Ricci bounded covering geometry i.e., Ricci curvature is bounded below and the Riemannian universal cover is non-collapsed or consists of uniform Reifenberg points. Via Ricci flows' techniques, we partially extend the nilpotent structural results of Cheeger-Fukaya-Gromov, on collapsed …

We adapt to an infinite dimensional ambient space E.R. Reifenberg's epiperimetric inequality and a quantitative version of D. Preiss' second moments computations to establish that the set of regular points of an almost mass minimizing rectifiable $G$ chain in $\ell_2$ is dense in its support, whenever the group $G$ of …

The paper proves a transformation theorem under a monotone property of almost Euclidean factors of geodesic balls.

In this paper we first review the covering space method with constrained BV functions for solving the classical Plateau's problem. Next, we carefully analyze some interesting examples of soap films compatible with the covering space method: in particular, the case of a soap film only partially wetting a space curve, a …

Plateau's problem is to find a surface with minimal area spanning a given boundary. In 1960, Reifenberg and Adams developed a definition for "span" using Čech homology, and variants of this definition have been used ever sense. However, limitations of Čech homology resulted in the lack of a natural definition for a bou…

The paper studies harmonic map flows and proves rectifiability of singular sets.

We prove a new logarithmic epiperimetric inequality for multiplicity-one stationary cones with isolated singularity by flowing in the radial direction any given trace along appropriately chosen directions. In contrast to previous epiperimetric inequalities for minimal surfaces (e.g. those of Reifenberg, Taylor and Whit…

Study Ricci flows on manifolds, proving they behave like self-similar solutions and confirming a conjecture.

A canonical diffeomorphism is constructed for manifolds near spheres.

A mean curvature flow starting from a closed embedded hypersurface in $R^{n+1}$ must develop singularities. We show that if the flow has only generic singularities, then the space-time singular set is contained in finitely many compact embedded $(n-1)$-dimensional Lipschitz submanifolds plus a set of dimension at most …

The paper proves topological stability between RCD spaces and Riemannian manifolds.

New non-canonical flows found via parabolic Allen-Cahn equations.

We prove a new kind of estimate that holds on any manifold with lower Ricci bounds. It relates the geometry of two small balls with the same radius, potentially far apart, but centered in the interior of a common minimizing geodesic. It reveals new, previously unknown, properties that all generalized spaces with a lowe…

If one considers an integral varifold $I^m\subseteq M$ with bounded mean curvature, and if $S^k(I)\equiv\{x\in M: \text{ no tangent cone at $x$ is }k+1\text{-symmetric}\}$ is the standard stratification of the singular set, then it is well known that $\dim S^k\leq k$. In complete generality nothing else is known about …

An analysis is made of reality conditions within the context of noncommutative geometry. We show that if a covariant derivative satisfies a given left Leibniz rule then a right Leibniz rule is equivalent to the reality condition. We show also that the matrix which determines the reality condition must satisfy the Yang-…
