Abstract:

It was shown by Hardt-Simon and Wang that any minimizing hypercone fits into a foliation of minimizing hypersurfaces which, apart from the cone itself, are all smooth radial graphs asymptotic to the cone. When the cone has an isolated singularity Hardt-Simon additionally showed the foliation is unique, in the sense that any complete area-minimizing hypersurface lying to one side of the cone must be a leaf of the foliation. In this talk we show a similar uniqueness for the foliation associated to minimizing cylindrical hypercones of the form $C = C_0 \times R^k$, when $C_0$ is smooth, strictly-minimizing, and strictly stable. This is joint work with Gábor Székelyhidi.
