Stationary varifolds with singularities II

RESUMO

For every dimension $m\geq 3$, we show the existence of an open set $U\subset \mathbb R^{m+1}$, a smooth Riemannian metric $g$ on it, and an integral $m$-dimensional stationary varifold $V$ in $(U,g)$ with the following properties. $V$ has a flat tangent plane of multiplicity $2$ at an interior point $p$, it is a smooth immersed minimal surface in $U\setminus \{p\}$, and it has infinite topology in any neighborhood of $p$. The construction starts from an idea of three of the authors, who in \cite{DHS} tried to build a similar example with $C^{m-1, \alpha}$ regularity for $g$. That previous attempt contained an important error, which has been overcome using a crucial suggestion of gpt-astra-6.
