Abstract
For each sufficiently large integer , we construct a domain in the round -sphere with boundary components which is the link of a cone in admitting a homogeneous solution to the one-phase free boundary problem. This answers a question of Jerison-Kamburov, and also disproves a conjecture of Souam left open in earlier work. The method exploits a new connection with minimal surfaces, which we also use to construct an infinite family of homogeneous solutions in dimension four.
