Every finite graph arises as the singular set of a compact 3-d calibrated area minimizing surface

Abstract

Given any (not necessarily connected) combinatorial finite graph and any compact smooth 6-manifold M6 with the third Betti number b3=0, we construct a calibrated 3-dimensional homologically area minimizing surface on M equipped in a smooth metric g, so that the singular set of the surface is precisely an embedding of this finite graph. Moreover, the calibration form near the singular set is a smoothly GL(6,R) twisted special Lagrangian form. The constructions are based on some unpublished ideas of Professor Camillo De Lellis and Professor Robert Bryant.
