Flatness conjecture for stable nonlocal minimal hypercones in dimensions three through seven
Flatness conjecture for stable nonlocal minimal hypercones in dimensions three through seven
Let , and consider stable -minimal hypercones in . Flatness conjecture. For every integer with , there exists such that, for every , the only stable -minimal hypercones in are hyperplanes.
This is the nonlocal analogue of the classical flatness result for stable minimal cones in dimensions at most seven, contrasted with the Simons-cone counterexample in dimension eight. Establishing this classification would, via the stated implication for stable hypersurfaces, yield flatness of stable -minimal hypersurfaces of class in these dimensions for sufficiently close to one.
