Almgren–Pitts existence conjecture for epsilon-min-max varifolds
Almgren–Pitts existence conjecture for epsilon-min-max varifolds
Let be a compact Riemannian manifold of dimension isometrically embedded in , and let . For , let be a homotopy class of mappings into , and let denote the associated epsilon-min-max value. A stationary integral varifold is an element stationary in ; being almost minimizing in a region has its usual Almgren–Pitts meaning. Epsilon-min-max varifold conjecture. There exists a stationary integral varifold such that
and, moreover, for every , there exists such that is almost minimizing in for every , where is the annulus in centered at with the corresponding radii. This proposes an Almgren–Pitts-type existence and regularity theorem for the discontinuous epsilon-neighborhood volume functional. The author explicitly presents it as a belief for sufficiently small positive ; no resolution is given in the source.
