To this aim we introduce the following new tools: some monotonicity formulas for varifolds in $\\mathbb{R}^S$ involving $\\int |H|^p$, to avoid degeneracy of the minimizer, and a sort of isoperimetric inequality to bound the mass in terms of the mentioned functionals.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2014-01-24T09:51:52.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "49Q20", "58E99", "53A10", "49Q05" ], "keywords": [ "riemannian manifolds", "dimensional varifolds minimizing functionals", "dimensional manifold", "partial regularity", "ambient manifolds" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 33, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2010arXiv1010.4514M" } } }
