Regularity of stable capillary minimal hypersurfaces
Abstract
We develop a regularity and compactness theory for stable capillary minimal hypersurfaces in the half-space with contact angle and dimension . As a consequence, we obtain the generalized Bernstein theorem for embedded complete stable capillary minimal hypersurfaces in with Euclidean area growth. The key innovation is an integral curvature estimate: by carefully selecting an appropriate tilt excess function, we are able to eliminate the boundary terms arising in the stability inequality. Building on this, we establish a boundary sheeting theorem by refining the arguments in [SS81]. These results, combined with a refined classification of stable capillary minimal cones, lead to the main regularity and compactness theorems.
