Regularity and compactness theory of stable free-boundary minimal hypersurfaces
We establish the free-boundary version of Schoen-Simon's regularity and compactness theory for stable minimal hypersurfaces in a complete $(n+1)$-dimensional Riemannian manifold-with-boundary, following the intrinsic PDE scheme introduced by the first-named author. The key step is to prove sheeting theorems in the two...
