We show the uniqueness of the cylindrical tangent cone $C(\mathbb{S}^2 \times \mathbb{S}^4) \times \mathbb{R}$ for area-minimizing hypersurfaces in $\mathbb{R}^9$, completing the uniqueness of all tangent cones of the form $C_{p,q} \times…

We prove that for a residual (and hence dense) subset $\mathcal{G}$ of Riemannian metrics on $S^{n+1}$ in the $C^{3}$ topology, no area-minimizing integral $n$-current that is a boundary admits a singular tangent cone which is linearly…

We construct new examples of special Lagrangian submanifolds $Y\subset \mathbf{C}^{n+1}$, $n\geq 3$ in a neighborhood of the origin, with an isolated singularity, but with cylindrical tangent cone $C\times\mathbf{R}$. Moreover,…
In this paper, we study the problem of uniqueness of tangent cone for minimizing extrinsic biharmonic maps. Following the celebrated result of Simon, we prove that if the target manifold is a compact analytic submanifold in R p and if there…
Caffarelli-Hardt-Simon used the minimal surface equation on the Simons cone $C(S^3\times S^3)$ to generate newer examples of minimal hypersurfaces with isolated singularities. Hardt-Simon proved that every area-minimizing quadratic cone…
Hardt-Simon proved that every area-minimizing hypercone $\mathbf{C}$ having only an isolated singularity fits into a foliation of $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ by smooth, area-minimizing hypersurfaces asymptotic to $\mathbf{C}$. In this paper we prove…
We consider an area-minimizing integral current $T$ of codimension higher than 1 ins a smooth Riemannian manifold $\Sigma$. We prove that $T$ has a unique tangent cone, which is a superposition of planes, at $\mathcal{H}^{m-2}$-a.e. point…
We consider $2$-dimensional integer rectifiable currents which are almost area minimizing and show that their tangent cones are everywhere unique. Our argument unifies a few uniqueness theorems of the same flavor, which are all obtained by…
We characterize embedded $\C^1$ hypersurfaces of $\R^n$ as the only locally closed sets with continuously varying flat tangent cones whose measure-theoretic-multiplicity is at most $m<3/2$. It follows then that any (topological)…
We prove that tangent cones to 2-dimensional calibrated cycles are unique. Using this result we prove a rate of convergence for the mass of the blow-up of a calibrated integral 2-cycle towards the limiting density. With the same techniques,…
We show that for any Ricci-flat manifold with Euclidean volume growth the tangent cone at infinity is unique if one tangent cone has a smooth cross-section. Similarly, for any noncollapsing limit of Einstein manifolds with uniformly bounded…
In this paper a geometric characterization of the unique geodesics in Thompson's metric spaces is presented. This characterization is used to prove a variety of other geometric results. Firstly, it will be shown that there exists a unique…
In the present paper, we establish the uniqueness of tangent maps for general weakly holomorphic and locally approximable maps from an arbitrary almost complex manifold into projective algebraic varieties. As a byproduct of the approach and…
We show that every area-minimizing hypercone and every oriented Lawlor cone in [Law91] can be realized as a tangent cone at a point of some homologically area-minimizing singular compact submanifold. In particular this generalizes the…
We consider positive-(1,1) De Rham currents in arbitrary almost complex manifolds and prove the uniqueness of the tangent cone at any point where the density does not have a jump with respect to all of its values in a neighbourhood. Without…
In this paper we show that, if $T$ is an area-minimizing $2$-dimensional integral current with $\partial T = Q [\![ \Gamma ]\!]$, where $\Gamma$ is a $C^{1,\alpha}$ curve for $\alpha>0$ and $Q$ an arbitrary integer, then $T$ has a unique…
Singularities of the mean curvature flow of an embedded surface in R^3 are expected to be modelled on self-shrinkers that are compact, cylindrical, or asymptotically conical. In order to understand the flow before and after the singular…
We consider a CMC hypersurface with an isolated singular point at which the tangent cone is regular, and such that, in a neighbourhood of said point, the hypersurface is the boundary of a Caccioppoli set that minimises the standard…
