Abstract We prove that 2-dimensionalQ-valued maps that are stationary with respect to outer and inner variations of the Dirichlet energy are Hölder continuous and that the dimension of their singular set is at most one. In the course of the proof we establish a strong concentration-compactness theorem for equicontinuous maps that are stationary with respect to outer variations only, and which holds in every dimensions.more » « less

Let be a smooth Riemannian manifold, a smooth closed oriented submanifold of codimension higher than and an integral area-minimizing current in which bounds . We prove that the set of regular points of at the boundary is dense in . Prior to our theorem the existence of any regular point was not known, except for some special choice of and . As a corollary of our theorem we answer to a question in Almgren’sAlmgren’s big regularity paperfrom 2000 showing that, if is connected, then has at least one point of multiplicity , namely there is a neighborhood of the point where is a classical submanifold with boundary ; we generalize Almgren’s connectivity theorem showing that the support of is always connected if is connected; we conclude a structural result on when consists of more than one connected component, generalizing a previous theorem proved by Hardt and Simon in 1979 when and is -dimensional.more » « less

Abstract We establish a theory ofQ‐valued functions minimizing a suitable generalization of the Dirichlet integral. In a second paper the theory will be used to approximate efficiently area minimizing currentsmod(p)whenp = 2Q, and to establish a first general partial regularity theorem for everypin any dimension and codimension . © 2020 The Authors.Communications on Pure and Applied Mathematicspublished by Wiley Periodicals LLC.more » « less

Abstract We establish a first general partial regularity theorem for area minimizing currents$${\mathrm{mod}}(p)$$ , for everyp, in any dimension and codimension. More precisely, we prove that the Hausdorff dimension of the interior singular set of anm-dimensional area minimizing current$${\mathrm{mod}}(p)$$ cannot be larger than$$m-1$$ . Additionally, we show that, whenpis odd, the interior singular set is$$(m-1)$$ -rectifiable with locally finite$$(m-1)$$ -dimensional measure.more » « less
