On the non-uniqueness of locally minimizing clusters via singular cones

Analysis of PDEs 2025-07-21 v1

Abstract

We construct partitions of Rn\mathbb{R}^n into three sets {X(1),X(2),X(3)}\{\mathscr{X}(1),\mathscr{X}(2),\mathscr{X}(3)\} that locally minimize interfacial area among compactly supported volume preserving variations and that blow down at infinity to singular area-minimizing cones. As a consequence, we prove the non-uniqueness of the standard lens cluster in a large number of dimensions starting from 88.
