Non-one-dimensional minimizer conjecture in dimension seven

Assume (A1): β\beta is non-negative and C1C^1, with suppβ=[0,1]\textrm{supp}\,\beta=[0,1] and 01β=1\int_0^1\beta=1. Let

J(u,E)=E{u2+Φ(u)}dx,J(u,E)=\int_E\left\{|\nabla u|^2+\Phi(u)\right\}\,dx,

where Φ=β\Phi'=\beta. Dimension-seven non-one-dimensional minimizer conjecture. There exists a globally Lipschitz minimizer of the energy JJ in R7\mathbb{R}^7 that is not one-dimensional.

This is motivated by the existence of non-flat minimal cones for the one-phase problem in dimension 77. The claim is presented as a second natural open problem, and no resolution is given in the source.
