Abstract:

For any n>1 we give an explicit example of an n-axially symmetric Cartesian current in B³ x S² with non-trivial vertical part and non-constant graph part minimizing the relaxed Dirichlet energy among the n-axially symmetric Cartesian currents with the same boundary. This stands in sharp contrast with a results of Hardt, Lin and Poon for the case n=1.
