We consider an area-minimizing integral current $T$ of codimension higher than $1$ in a smooth Riemannian manifold $\Sigma$. In a previous paper we have subdivided the set of interior singular points with at least one flat tangent cone…

Let $\Gamma \subset \mathbb{P}^n$ be a nondegenerate finite subscheme of degree $d$. Then the Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity ${\rm reg} ({\Gamma})$ of $\Gamma$ is at most $\left\lceil \frac{d-n-1}{t(\Gamma)} \right\rceil +2$ where…
In this work, we show the generic uniqueness of minimizers for a large class of energies, including the Alt-Caffarelli and Alt-Phillips functionals. We then prove the generic regularity of free boundaries for minimizers of the one-phase…
Let \Sigma be a minimal submanifold of \R^{n+m} that can be represented as the graph of a smooth map f:\R^n-->\R^m. We apply a formula we derived in the study of mean curvature flow to obtain conditions under which \Sigma must be an affine…

Let $M$ be an $n$-dimensional complete simply connected Riemannian manifold with sectional curvature bounded above by a nonpositive constant $-\kappa^2$. Using the cone total curvature $TC(\Gamma)$ of a graph $\Gamma$ which was introduced…
If $\Gamma$ is the nullity space of the curvature tensor of a Riemannian manifold $M^n$, it is well known that if its dimension is constant and if $M^n$ is complete then the distribution $\Gamma$ is completely integrable with flat leaves.…
This paper discusses the regularity of multiple-valued Dirichlet minimizing maps into the sphere. It shows that even at branched point, as long as the normalized energy is small enough, we have the energy decay estimate. Combined with the…
In this paper, we study the relaxed energy for biharmonic maps from a $m$-dimensional domain into spheres. By an approximation method, we prove the existence of a minimizer of the relaxed energy of the Hessian energy, and that the minimizer…
We give partial boundary regularity for co-dimension one absolutely area-minimizing currents at points where the boundary consists of a sum of $C^{1,\alpha}$ submanifolds, possibly with multiplicity, meeting tangentially, given that the…
A classical problem in constant mean curvature hypersurface theory is, for given $H\geq 0$, to determine whether a compact submanifold $\Gamma^{n-1}$ of codimension two in Euclidean space $\R_+^{n+1}$, having a single valued orthogonal…
We study absolute continuity of harmonic measure with respect to surface measure on domains $\Omega$ that have large complements. We show that if $\Gamma\subset \mathbb{R}^{d+1}$ is $d$-Ahlfors regular and splits $ \mathbb{R}^{d+1}$ into…

We show that wave maps from Minkowski space $\R^{1+n}$ to a sphere $S^{m-1}$ are globally smooth if the initial data is smooth and has small norm in the critical Sobolev space $\dot H^{n/2}$, in all dimensions $n \geq 2$. This generalizes…
