Abstract

Given a complete Riemannian manifold MRd\mathcal{M}\subset\mathbb{R}^d which is a Lipschitz neighbourhood retract of dimension m+nm+n, of class Ch,βC^{h,\beta} and an oriented, closed submanifold ΓM\Gamma \subset \mathcal M of dimension m1m-1, which is a boundary in integral homology, we construct a complete metric space B\mathcal{B} of Ch,αC^{h,\alpha}-perturbations of Γ\Gamma inside M\mathcal{M}, with α<β\alpha<\beta, enjoying the following property. For the typical element bBb\in\mathcal B, in the sense of Baire categories, there exists a unique mm-dimensional integral current in M\mathcal{M} which solves the corresponding Plateau problem and it has multiplicity one.
