  • The Singular Structure and Regularity of Stationary Varifolds 3
    THE SINGULAR STRUCTURE AND REGULARITY OF STATIONARY VARIFOLDS AARON NABER AND DANIELE VALTORTA ABSTRACT. If one considers an integral varifold Im M with bounded mean curvature, and if S k(I) x ⊆ ≡ { ∈ M : no tangent cone at x is k + 1-symmetric is the standard stratification of the singular set, then it is well } known that dim S k k. In complete generality nothing else is known about the singular sets S k(I). In this ≤ paper we prove for a general integral varifold with bounded mean curvature, in particular a stationary varifold, that every stratum S k(I) is k-rectifiable. In fact, we prove for k-a.e. point x S k that there exists a unique ∈ k-plane Vk such that every tangent cone at x is of the form V C for some cone C. n 1 n × In the case of minimizing hypersurfaces I − M we can go further. Indeed, we can show that the singular ⊆ set S (I), which is known to satisfy dim S (I) n 8, is in fact n 8 rectifiable with uniformly finite n 8 measure. ≤ − − − 7 An effective version of this allows us to prove that the second fundamental form A has apriori estimates in Lweak on I, an estimate which is sharp as A is not in L7 for the Simons cone. In fact, we prove the much stronger | | 7 estimate that the regularity scale rI has Lweak-estimates. The above results are in fact just applications of a new class of estimates we prove on the quantitative k k k k + stratifications S ǫ,r and S ǫ S ǫ,0.

  • Geometric Measure Theory and Differential Inclusions
    GEOMETRIC MEASURE THEORY AND DIFFERENTIAL INCLUSIONS C. DE LELLIS, G. DE PHILIPPIS, B. KIRCHHEIM, AND R. TIONE Abstract. In this paper we consider Lipschitz graphs of functions which are stationary points of strictly polyconvex energies. Such graphs can be thought as integral currents, resp. varifolds, which are stationary for some elliptic integrands. The regularity theory for the latter is a widely open problem, in particular no counterpart of the classical Allard’s theorem is known. We address the issue from the point of view of differential inclusions and we show that the relevant ones do not contain the class of laminates which are used in [22] and [25] to construct nonregular solutions. Our result is thus an indication that an Allard’s type result might be valid for general elliptic integrands. We conclude the paper by listing a series of open questions concerning the regularity of stationary points for elliptic integrands. 1. Introduction m 1 n×m Let Ω ⊂ R be open and f 2 C (R ; R) be a (strictly) polyconvex function, i.e. such that there is a (strictly) convex g 2 C1 such that f(X) = g(Φ(X)), where Φ(X) denotes the vector of n subdeterminants of X of all orders. We then consider the following energy E : Lip(Ω; R ) ! R: E(u) := f(Du)dx : (1) ˆΩ n Definition 1.1. Consider a map u¯ 2 Lip(Ω; R ). The one-parameter family of functions u¯ + "v will be called outer variations and u¯ will be called critical for E if d E 1 n (¯u + "v) = 0 8v 2 Cc (Ω; R ) : d" "=0 1 m 1 Given a vector field Φ 2 Cc (Ω; R ) we let X" be its flow .

[Sim84] n k Let G(n; k) be the set of k-dimensional linear subspaces of R . Let M be locally H -rectifiable, n 1 and let θ : R ! N be in Lloc.

[Lel12] n Let U ⊂ R be an open set. An integral varifold V of dimension k in U is a pair V = (Γ; f), k 1 where (1) Γ ⊂ U is a H -rectifiable set, and (2) f :Γ !

We can naturally associate to V the following Radon measure: Z k µV (A) = f dH for any Borel set A: Γ\A We define the mass of V to be M(V ) := µV (U). We define the tangent space TxV to be the approximate tangent space of the measure µV , k whenever this exists. Thus, TxV = TxΓ H -a.e. Definition 1.3. [Lel12] If Φ : U !

    FALL 2010 NEWSLETTER A Message from the Chair Greetings, math alums, from the Department of Mathematics! Since our last newsletter was released in January 2010, there have been significant changes at Baylor. Judge Kenneth Winston Starr has been inaugurated as Baylor University’s 14th President and Dr. Elizabeth Davis was named Executive Vice President and Provost. All of us at Baylor are thrilled with these two appointments and, through the stability that these appointments bring, we are confident that Baylor will continue its push onwards and upwards to becoming one of the nation’s elite universities. On the departmental level, we have seen several important changes in the past few months. We’ve added Dr. Matthew Beauregard (University of Arizona), Gail Brooks (Baylor University, McLennan Community College), and Dr. Jonatan Lenells (University of Lund, Sweden) to our staff this fall and we are very pleased to welcome each of them into our mathematical family. HOMECOMING 2010 We are also excited to have Dr. Edward B. Burger, the 2010 Robert Foster Cherry Award winner for Great Teaching, with Homecoming this year is Saturday us this semester. Ed is the Lissack Professor for Social Responsibility and Personal Ethics at Williams College (MA) October 23.

  • On Relations Between Adams Spectral Sequences, with an Application to the Stable Homotopy of a Moore Space
    Journal of Pure and Applied Algebra 20 (1981) 287-312 0 North-Holland Publishing Company ON RELATIONS BETWEEN ADAMS SPECTRAL SEQUENCES, WITH AN APPLICATION TO THE STABLE HOMOTOPY OF A MOORE SPACE Haynes R. MILLER* Harvard University, Cambridge, MA 02130, UsA Communicated by J.F. Adams Received 24 May 1978 0. Introduction A ring-spectrum B determines an Adams spectral sequence Ez(X; B) = n,(X) abutting to the stable homotopy of X. It has long been recognized that a map A +B of ring-spectra gives rise to information about the differentials in this spectral sequence. The main purpose of this paper is to prove a systematic theorem in this direction, and give some applications. To fix ideas, let p be a prime number, and take B to be the modp Eilenberg- MacLane spectrum H and A to be the Brown-Peterson spectrum BP at p. For p odd, and X torsion-free (or for example X a Moore-space V= So Up e’), the classical Adams E2-term E2(X;H) may be trigraded; and as such it is E2 of a spectral sequence (which we call the May spectral sequence) converging to the Adams- Novikov Ez-term E2(X; BP). One may say that the classical Adams spectral sequence has been broken in half, with all the “BP-primary” differentials evaluated first. There is in fact a precise relationship between the May spectral sequence and the H-Adams spectral sequence. In a certain sense, the May differentials are the Adams differentials modulo higher BP-filtration. One may say the same for p=2, but in a more attenuated sense.
