This thesis deals with regularity and rectifiability properties on the branching set of stationary varifolds that can be represented as the graph of a two-valued function.

Abstract

This thesis deals with regularity and rectifiability properties on the branching set of stationary varifolds that can be represented as the graph of a two-valued function. In the first chapter I briefly show the Simon and Wickramasekera’s work in which they introduce a frequency function monotonicity formula for two-valued C1,α functions with stationary graph that leads to an estimate of the Hausdorff dimension of the branching set. In the second chapter I build upon Simon and Wickramasekera’s work and introduce several relaxed frequency functions in order to get an estimate of the Minkowski’s content of the branching set. I then use their result to prove the local (n − 2)-rectifiablility of the branching set.
