The anisotropic Michael-Simon inequality

We prove a Michael-Simon inequality for varifolds of every dimension and codimension with respect to anisotropic energies. In particular, this resolves the problem for every convex even hypersurface anisotropy and, using work of Allard, yields the regularity of hypersurfaces with bounded anisotropic mean curvature in e...

The anisotropic Michael-Simon inequality for surfaces in every codimension

We prove a Michael-Simon inequality for $2$-varifolds in $\mathbb{R}^N$, in arbitrary codimension, for anisotropies sufficiently close to the area functional. Building on the ideas of Almgren and De Philippis-Pigati, we introduce a projection method for anisotropic stress measures yielding geometric inequalities that a...

Singularity models for the Bernoulli free boundary problem from isoparametric hypersurfaces

We develop a general construction of homogeneous solutions to the Bernoulli free boundary problem, as well as general extremal domains on the sphere, from isoparametric foliations of the sphere. Our construction produces rich families of infinitely many new examples with sophisticated topologies connected to minimal su...

On Chern's conjecture for minimal submanifolds of the sphere

A well-known conjecture of Chern, do Carmo, and Kobayashi asserts that, for $n,m \geq 1$, the scalar curvature of a closed, minimally immersed $n$-submanifold of $\mathbb{S}^{n+m}$ with second fundamental form of constant length takes values in a discrete set. This property holds in every codimension when $n \in \{1,2\...
