geometry-topology / Geometric measure theory: regularity of stationary varifolds

The codimension-one bound for singular sets of stationary integral varifolds

Theorem 1.1: for every stationary integral mm-varifold VV in an open U⊂Rm+nU\subset\mathbb R^{m+n}, m,n≥1m,n\ge1, dim⁡HSing V≤m−1\dim_{\mathcal H}\mathrm{Sing}\,V\le m-1, with no stability, minimizing, orientability, density or codimension hypothesis; crossing planes show it is sharp. This implies Hm(Sing V)=0\mathcal H^m(\mathrm{Sing}\,V)=0. The proof combines the companion paper's signed-excess estimates with a fitting and frequency analysis around a smooth center and a measure-valued blow-up at higher-multiplicity planar tangents. It does not prove rectifiability or finer structure of the singular set, and does not cover Riemannian ambient metrics.
