Cones over minimal products cannot be calibrated by smooth calibrations

Differential Geometry 2026-04-28 v2

Abstract

We extend a key result in [Zha26], by establishing the obstruction that the minimal product structure (for minimal submanifolds or stationary currents in spheres) automatically makes all cones over (non-trivial) minimal products fail to be calibrated by any global defined smooth calibration in Euclidean spaces.
