In this paper, we prove that, up to similarity, there are only two minimal hypersurfaces in Rn+2 that are asymptotic to a Simons cone, i.e. the minimal cone over the minimal hypersurface npSp×nn−pSn−p of Sn+1
Study on minimizing singular capillary cones with stability and instability results.
problem Minimizing singular capillary cones with free boundary.
method Stability criterion à la Jerison-Savin, Simons-type inequality for convex, homogeneous, symmetric functions of principal curvatures, boundary condition specific to capillary setting.
result Minimizing cones with non-sign-changing mean curvature are flat in dimensions up to 4, and non-trivial axially symmetric cones are unstable in dimensions up to 6.
In a seminal paper published in 1968, J. Simons proved that, for n≤5, the Euclidean (minimal) cone CM, built on a closed, oriented, minimal and non totally geodesic hypersurface Mn of Sn+1 is unstable. In this paper, we extend Simons' analysis to {\em warped} (minimal) cones built over a close…
We prove that the density of a topologically nontrivial, area-minimizing hypercone with an isolated singularity must be greater than the square root of 2. The Simons' cones show that this is the best possible constant. If one of the components of the complement of the cone has nontrivial kth homotopy group, we prove a …
Study confirms C1 regularity for convex functionals with bounded degeneracy set.
problem Confirming C1 regularity for minimizers of convex functionals with small degeneracy set.
method Building on previous work, confirms C1 regularity when D2F is positive and bounded away from finitely many points. Constructs a counterexample in R4 where F is strictly convex but D2F degenerates on a Simons cone intersection.
result Confirms C1 regularity for minimizers of convex functionals with small degeneracy set.
In the paper [1] (arXiv:math/0408333) the authors discuss two possible definitions of the relative Cheeger-Simons characters, the second one fitting into a long exact sequence. Here we relate that picture to the one of the relative Deligne cohomology groups, defined via the mapping cone: we show that there are three me…
We give partial boundary regularity for co-dimension one absolutely area-minimizing currents at points where the boundary consists of a sum of C1,α submanifolds, possibly with multiplicity, meeting tangentially, given that the current has a tangent cone supported in a hyperplane with constant orientation vector; t…
We calculate the Chern-Simons invariants of the twist knot orbifolds using the Schläfli formula for the generalized Chern-Simons function on the family of the twist knot cone-manifold structures. Following the general instruction of Hilden, Lozano, and Montesinos-Amilibia, we here present the concrete formulae and calc…
We prove some epsilon regularity results for n-dimensional minimal two-valued Lipschitz graphs. The main theorems imply uniqueness of tangent cones and regularity of the singular set in a neighbourhood of any point at which at least one tangent cone is equal to a pair of transversely intersecting multiplicity one n-dim…
The paper studies stability and minimizing properties of higher codimensional surfaces in Euclidean space.
problem Stability and minimizing properties of higher codimensional surfaces in Euclidean space.
method Analyzes surfaces associated with the weighted area-functional and proves stability and minimization properties under specific conditions.
result Minimal cones with globally flat normal bundles are f-stable, and highly singular determinantal varieties and Pfaffian varieties are f-minimizing.
A brief review on the progress made in the study of Chern-Simons gauge theory since its relation to knot theory was discovered ten years ago is presented. Emphasis is made on the analysis of the perturbative study of the theory and its connection to the theory of Vassiliev invariants. It is described how the study of t…
We introduce certain relative differential characters which we call Cheeger-Chern-Simons characters. These combine the well-known Cheeger-Simons characters with Chern-Simons forms. In the same way as the Cheeger-Simons characters generalize Chern-Simons invariants of oriented closed manifolds, the Cheeger-Chern-Simons …
In this paper we study several aspects of the geometry of conformally stationary Lorentz manifolds, and particularly of GRW spaces, due to the presence of a closed conformal vector field. More precisely, we begin by extending to these spaces a result of J. Simons on the minimality of cones in Euclidean space, and apply…
