Abstract

In this paper, we prove the following version of the famous Bernstein's theorem: Let XRn+kX\subset \mathbb R^{n+k} be a closed and connected set with Hausdorff dimension nn. Assume that XX satisfies the monotonicity formula at pXp\in X. Then, the following statements are equivalent: (1) XX is an affine linear subspace; (2) XX is a definable set that is Lipschitz regular at infinity and its geometric tangent cone at infinity, C(X,)C(X,\infty), is a linear subspace; (3) XX is a definable set, blow-spherical regular at infinity and C(X,)C(X,\infty) is a linear subspace; (4) XX is a definable set that is Lipschitz normally embedded at infinity and C(X,)C(X,\infty) is a linear subspace; (5) the density of XX at infinity is 1. Consequently, we prove the following generalization of Bernstein's theorem: Let XRn+1X\subset \mathbb R^{n+1} be a closed and connected set with Hausdorff dimension nn. Assume that XX satisfies the monotonicity formula at pXp\in X and there are compact sets KRnK\subset \mathbb{R}^n and K~Rn+1\tilde K\subset \mathbb{R}^{n+1} such that XK~X\setminus \tilde K is a minimal hypersurface that is the graph of a C2C^2-smooth function u ⁣:RnKRu\colon \mathbb{R}^{n}\setminus K\to \mathbb{R}. Assume that uu has bounded derivative whenever n>7n>7. Then XX is a hyperplane. Several other results are also presented. For example, we generalize the o-minimal Chow's theorem, we prove that any entire complex analytic set that is bi-Lipschitz homeomorphic to a definable set in an o-minimal structure must be an algebraic set. We also obtain that Yau's Bernstein Problem, which says that an oriented stable complete minimal hypersurface in Rn+1\mathbb{R}^{n+1} with n6n\leq 6 must be a hyperplane, holds true whether the hypersurface is a definable set in an o-minimal structure.
