Abstract

Let Γ\Gamma be a smooth, closed, oriented, (n1)(n-1)-dimensional submanifold of Rn+1\mathbb{R}^{n+1}. We show that there exist arbitrarily small perturbations Γ\Gamma' of Γ\Gamma with the property that minimizing integral nn-currents with boundary Γ\Gamma' are smooth away from a set of Hausdorff dimension n9εn\leq n-9-\varepsilon_n, where εn(0,1]\varepsilon_n \in (0, 1] is a dimensional constant. This improves on our previous result (where we proved generic smoothness of minimizers in 99 and 1010 ambient dimensions). The key ingredients developed here are a new method to estimate the full singular set of the foliation by minimizers and a proof of superlinear decay of closeness (near singular points) that holds even across non-conical scales.
