The area minimizing problem in conformal cones, II (2009.09183v1)

Abstract: In this paper we continue to study the connection among the area minimizing problem, certain area functional and the Dirichlet problem of minimal surface equations in a class of conformal cones with a similar motivation from \cite{GZ20}. These cones are certain generalizations of hyperbolic spaces. We describe the structure of area minimizing $n$-nteger multiplicity currents in bounded $C^2$ conformal cones with prescribed $C^1$ graphical boundary via a minimizing problem of these area functionals. As an application we solve the corresponding Dirichlet problem of minimal surface equations under a mean convex type assumption. We also extend the existence and uniqueness of a local area minimizing integer multiplicity current with star-shaped infinity boundary in hyperbolic spaces into a large class of complete conformal manifolds.
