Excess decay for minimizing hypercurrents mod $2Q$

Abstract

We consider codimension 11 area-minimizing mm-dimensional currents TT mod an even integer p=2Qp=2Q in a C2C^2 Riemannian submanifold Σ\Sigma of the Euclidean space. We prove a suitable excess-decay estimate towards the unique tangent cone at every point qspt(T)sptp(T)q\in \mathrm{spt} (T)\setminus \mathrm{spt}^p (\partial T) where at least one such tangent cone is QQ copies of a single plane. While an analogous decay statement was proved in arXiv:2111.11202 as a corollary of a more general theory for stable varifolds, in our statement we strive for the optimal dependence of the estimates upon the second fundamental form of Σ\Sigma. This technical improvement is in fact needed in arXiv:2201.10204 to prove that the singular set of TT can be decomposed into a C1,αC^{1,\alpha} (m1)(m-1)-dimensional submanifold and an additional closed remaining set of Hausdorff dimension at most m2m-2.
