Regularity conjecture for the free boundary in dimension two

About 27 years old · traced to

Let DD be an optimal configuration in a planar domain, and let ∂D\partial D denote its free boundary. Two-dimensional free-boundary regularity conjecture. In dimension two, the free boundary ∂D\partial D is smooth outside a finite set. The authors prove restrictions on the singular set, while the stated smoothness assertion remains open.
