Abstract

Given any (not necessarily connected) combinatorial finite graph and any compact smooth 66-manifold M6M^6 with the third Betti number b30b_3\not=0, we construct a calibrated 3-dimensional homologically area minimizing surface on MM equipped in a smooth metric gg, so that the singular set of the surface is precisely an embedding of this finite graph. Moreover, the calibration form near the singular set is a smoothly GL(6,R)GL(6,\mathbb{R}) twisted special Lagrangian form. The constructions are based on some unpublished ideas of Professor Camillo De Lellis and Professor Robert Bryant.
