Abstract: | We study the following variational problem. For a compact manifold S0 embedded in the Euclidean space we consider deformations of S0. They are represented by Lipschitz continuous homeomorphisms of S0 whose images are embedded manifolds. We introduce an energy of a deformation which depends on the first derivative of the curvature of (S0) and the mass of a mass minimizing current which is bounded by (S0). In this paper it is shown that an energy minimizing deformation of (S0) exists. Moreover, in the case that S0 has codimension 1, (S0) is an embedded C3a -submanifold, if is of the class C2,1. |
