An upper Minkowski bound for the interior singular set of area minimizing currents (2108.00418v2)

Abstract: We show that for an area minimizing $m$-dimensional integral current $T$ of codimension at least 2 inside a sufficiently regular Riemannian manifold, the upper Minkowski dimension of the interior singular set is at most $m-2$. This provides a strengthening of the existing $(m-2)$-dimensional Hausdorff dimension bound due to Almgren and De Lellis & Spadaro. As a by-product of the proof, we establish an improvement on the persistence of singularities along the sequence of center manifolds taken to approximate $T$ along blow-up scales.
