Abstract:

We prove uniqueness of the blow-up at every singular point of the one-phase free boundary problem for which one blow-up has an isolated singularity. The result applies to Lipschitz stationary solutions and does not require any integrability assumption on the cone. In this sense, our result completes the picture for uniqueness of tangent cones at isolated singularities in the one-phase problem. Inspired by Simon's work in the minimal surface setting, we prove an infinite dimensional Łojasiewicz inequality for the spherical Weiss' energy. This yields an epiperimetric inequality for non-minimizing solutions, which leads to the uniqueness result.
