Abstract:

We prove that the branching set of a solution to a two-dimensional two-phase Bernoulli problem with constant coefficients is locally finite. We do this via a Weierstrass representation formula, which allows to transform the problem into a new geometric two-phase problem for capillary minimal surfaces. We also apply this method to the obstacle problem establishing a connection between the directional derivatives of solutions to the obstacle problem and the linear thin two-membrane problem.
