Stable $s$-minimal cones in $\mathbb{R}^2$ are flat for $s \sim 0$

Abstract

For s(0,1)s \in (0,1) small, we show that the only cones in R2\mathbb{R}^2 stationary for the ss-perimeter and stable in R2{0}\mathbb{R}^2 \setminus \{0\} are half-planes. This is in direct contrast with the case of the classical perimeter or the regime ss close to 11, where nontrivial cones as {xy>0}R2\{xy>0\} \subset \mathbb{R}^2 are stable for inner variations.
