We discuss the global regularity of 2 dimensional minimal sets that are near a union of two planes, and prove that every global minimal set in R^4 that looks like a union of two almost orthogonal planes at infinity is a cone. The main point…
In this article we introduce a definition of topological minimal sets, which is a generalization of that of Mumford-Shah-minimal sets. We prove some general properties as well as two existence theorems for topological minimal sets. As an…
In this article we prove the topological minimality of unions of several almost orthogonal planes of arbitrary dimensions. A particular case was proved in arXiv:1103.1468, where we proved the Almgren minimality (which is a weaker property…
In this article we treat two closely related problems: 1) the upper semi continuity property for Almgren minimal sets in regions with regular boundary, which guanrantees that the uniqueness property is well defined; and 2) the Almgren…
We give a new proof and a partial generalization of Jean Taylor's result [Ta] that says that Almgren almost-minimal sets of dimension 2 in $\R^3$ are locally $C^{1+\alpha}$-equivalent to minimal cones. The proof is rather elementary, but…
In this article we prove that the union of two almost orthogonal planes in R4 is Almgren-minimal. This gives an example of a one parameter family of minimal cones, which is a phenomenon that does not exist in R3. This work is motivated by…
In this article we prove the measure stability for all 2-dimensional Almgren minimal cones in $\mathbb{R}^n$, and the Almgren (resp. topological) sliding stability for the 2-dimensional Almgren (resp. topological) minimal cones in…
In this paper we discuss various minimality properties for the orthogonal product of two 1-dimensional $\Y$ sets, and some related problems. This is motivated by an attempt to give the classification of singularities for 2-dimensional…
We give a different and probably more elementary proof of a good part of Jean Taylor's regularity theorem for Almgren almost-minimal sets of dimension 2 in $\R^3$. We use this opportunity to settle some details about almost-minimal sets,…
In this article we prove that for a large class of 2-dimensional minimal cones (including almost all 2-dimensional minimal cones that we know), the almost orthogonal union of any two of them is still a minimal cone. Comparing to existing…
We present some old and recent regularity results concerning minimal and almost minimal sets in domains of the Euclidean space. We concentrate on a sliding variant of Almgren's notion of minimality, which is well suited in the context of…
We show that directed minimal cones in (n+1)-dimensional Euclidean space which have at most one singularity are - besides the trivial cases: empty set, whole space - half spaces. Using blow-up techniques, this result can be used to get…
This article is dedicated to discuss the sliding stability and the uniqueness property for the 2-dimensional minimal cone YXY in R4. This problem is motivated by the classification of singularities for Almgren minimal sets, a model for…
This paper is devoted to the study of the global existence of smooth solutions for the 3+1 dimensional Einstein-Klein-Gordon systems with a $U(1) \times \mathbb{R}$ isometry group for a class of regular Cauchy data. In our first paper…
This paper studies regularity of perimiter quasiminimizing sets in metric measure spaces with a doubling measure and a Poincare inequality. The main result shows that the measure theoretic boundary of a quasiminimizing set coincides with…
In [15], Jean Taylor has proved a regularity theorem away from boundary for Almgren almost minimal sets of dimension two in $\mathbb{R}^{3}$. It is quite important for understanding the soap films and the solutions of Plateau's problem away…
Quasiminimal sets are sets for which a pertubation can decrease the area but only in a controlled manner. We prove that in dimensions $2$ and $3$, such sets separate a locally finite family of local John domains. Reciprocally, we show that…
We analyze the asymptotic behavior of a $2$-dimensional integral current which is almost minimizing in a suitable sense at a singular point. Our analysis is the second half of an argument which shows the discreteness of the singular set for…
We study the local regularity of sliding almost minimal sets of dimension 2 in $R^n$ , bounded by a smooth curve $L$. These are a good way to model soap films bounded by a curve, and their definition is similar to Almgren's. We aim for a…
We study the existence of solutions to general measure-minimization problems over topological classes that are stable under localized Lipschitz homotopy, including the standard Plateau problem without the need for restrictive assumptions…
