Abstract
AbstractIn this article we extend to arbitrary p-energy minimizing maps between Riemannian manifolds a regularity result which is known to hold in the case $$p=2$$
p
=
2
. We first show that the set of singular points of such a map can be quantitatively stratified: we classify singular points based on the number of almost-symmetries of the map around them, as done in Cheeger and Naber (Commun Pure Appl Math 66(6): 965–990, 2013). Then, adapting the work of Naber and Valtorta (Ann Math (2) 185(1): 131–227, 2017), we apply a Reifenberg-type Theorem to each quantitative stratum; through this, we achieve an upper bound on the Minkowski content of the singular set, and we prove it is k-rectifiable for a k which only depends on p and the dimension of the domain.
