Abstract:

The main goal of this work is to prove an instance of the unique continuation principle for area minimizing integral currents. More precisely, consider an $m$-dimensional area minimizing integral current and an $m$-dimensional minimal surface, both contained in $\mathbb{R}^{n+m}$ with $n\geq 1$. We show that if, in an integral sense, the current has infinite order of contact with the minimal surface at a point, then the current and the minimal surface coincide in a neighborhood of that point.
