For $n\ge 5$ and $k\ge 4$, we show that any minimizing biharmonic map from $\Omega\subset R^n$ to $S^k$ is smooth off a closed set whose Hausdorff dimension is at most $n-5$. When $n=5$ and $k=4$, for a parameter $\lambda\in [0,1]$ we…

We show that for an area minimizing $m$-dimensional integral current $T$ of codimension at least 2 inside a sufficiently regular Riemannian manifold, the upper Minkowski dimension of the interior singular set is at most $m-2$. This provides…
