Laplacian Algebras and Subcalibrations for Minimal Hypercones

RESUMO

We develop an algebraic mechanism based on Laplacian algebras for constructing minimal hypercones and determining their variational properties. The same closure identities identify minimal zero sets and reduce subcalibration construction and quantitative divergence estimates to algebraic inequalities. Combined with comparison theorems and Jacobi identities, the resulting certificates give criteria for area minimization, strict area minimization, and strict stability, allowing nonisolated singularities. Applications include polynomial subcalibrations for area-minimizing isoparametric hypercones, minimizing classifications within the FKM splitting quartic and Clifford cubic families, and strict area minimization for the zero sets of the real parts of complex determinants of every order at least two. We also establish odd-degree rigidity under gradient-square closure and a pullback criterion for subcalibrations. The algebraic identities and certificates are supported by reproducible exact symbolic computations.
