ON THE REGULARITY THEORY OF GENERALIZED SURFACES
In this Ph.D. thesis proposal, we study the regularity of energy-minimizing geometric structures within the framework of Geometric Measure Theory (GMT), which extends classical minimal surface theory to generalized objects such as varifolds. We establish an interior epsilon regularity theorem for varifolds in Alexandrov spaces with positive lower bounds on the injectivity radius and double-sided bounds on sectional curvature showing that, near regular points, the support can be represented as a $\mathcal{C}^{1,\alpha}$ graph, where $0 < \alpha < 1$, and that the regular set is relatively open and dense.
Our current work follows the line of research developed by Prof. Camillo De Lellis, which itself builds upon the foundational techniques of Frederick Almgren Jr. for studying the interior regularity of minimizing currents. Within this framework, we also address regularity problems for $\left(Q - \frac{1}{2}\right)$ Dirichlet minimizers, which naturally arise in the regularity theory of higher-codimension currents.
