Abstract

We prove that Allard's regularity theorem holds for rectifiable nn-dimensional varifolds VV assuming a weaker condition on the first variation. This, in the special case when VV is a smooth manifold translates to the following: If ωn1ρnarea(VBρ(x))\omega_n^{-1}\rho^{-n}{\rm area}(V\cap B_\rho(x)) is sufficiently close to 11 and the unit normal of VV satisfies a C0,αC^{0,\alpha} estimate, then VBρ/2(x)V\cap B_{\rho/2}(x) is the graph of a C1,αC^{1,\alpha} function with estimates. Furthermore, a similar boundary regularity theorem is true.
