We establish local higher integrability and differentiability results for minimizers of variational integrals $$ \mathfrak{F}(v,\Omega) = \int_{\Omega} /! F(Dv(x)) \, dx $$ over $W^{1,p}$--Sobolev mappings $u \colon \Omega \subset {\mathbb…

In this note we prove that on metric measure spaces, functions of least gradient, as well as local minimizers of the area functional (after modification on a set of measure zero) are continuous everywhere outside their jump sets. As a tool,…

We consider the Bernoulli one-phase free boundary problem in a domain $\Omega$ and show that the free boundary $F$ is $C^{1,1/2}$ regular in a neighborhood of the fixed boundary $\partial \Omega$. We achieve this by relating the behavior of…
