Abstract:

We prove existence and partial regularity of integral rectifiable $m$-dimensional varifolds minimizing functionals of the type $\int
H
^p$ and $\int
A
^p$ in a given Riemannian $n$-dimensional manifold $(N,g)$, $2 \leq m < n $ and $p>m$, under suitable assumptions on $N$ (in the end of the paper we give many examples of such ambient manifolds). 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.
