Abstract

We study the regularity of the interface between the disjoint supports of a pair of nonnegative subharmonic functions. The portion of the interface where the Alt-Caffarelli-Friedman (ACF) monotonicity formula is asymptotically positive forms an Hn1\mathcal{H}^{n-1}-rectifiable set. Moreover, for Hn1\mathcal{H}^{n-1}-a.e. such point, the two functions have unique blowups, i.e. their Lipschitz rescalings converge in W1,2W^{1,2} to a pair of nondegenerate truncated linear functions whose supports meet at the approximate tangent plane. The main tools used include the Naber-Valtorta framework and our recent result establishing a sharp quantitative remainder term in the ACF monotonicity formula. We also give applications of our results to free boundary problems.
