The high-order contact conjecture for stationary varifolds

Let VV and x0x_0 satisfy the assumptions of the flat tangent-cone regularity conjecture. The high-order contact conjecture. There is a smooth classical minimal mm-dimensional graph M\mathcal{M} in some neighborhood of x0x_0 such that

Br(x0)dist(x,M)2dV(x)=o(rN)for every NN.\int_{\mathbf{B}_r(x_0)}\operatorname{dist}(x,\mathcal{M})^2\,d\|V\|(x)=o(r^N)\qquad\text{for every }N\in\mathbb{N}.

The conjecture is proposed as a possible route from flat tangent-cone regularity to a unique-continuation problem; the paper does not report a resolution.
