We have decided to discontinue the publication of preprints on our preprint server as of 1 March 2024. The publication culture within mathematics has changed so much due to the rise of repositories such as ArXiV (www.arxiv.org) that we are encouraging all institute members to make their preprints available there. An institute's repository in its previous form is, therefore, unnecessary. The preprints published to date will remain available here, but we will not add any new preprints here.

Regularity of area minimizing currents II: center manifold
Camillo De Lellis and Emanuele Spadaro
Abstract
This is the second paper of a series of three on the regularity of higher codimension area minimizing integral currents.
Here we perform the second main step in the analysis of the singularities, namely the construction of a center manifold, i.e. an approximate average of the sheets of an almost flat area minimizing current. Such center manifold is complemented with a Lipschitz multi-valued map on its normal bundle, which approximates the current with a highe degree of accuracy.
In the third and final paper these objects are used to conclude a new proof of Almgren's celebrated dimension bound on the singular set.
