摘要

The main goal of this work is to prove an instance of the unique continuation principle for area minimizing integral currents. More precisely, we consider an m-dimensional area minimizing integral current and an m-dimensional minimal surface, both contained in \({\mathbb {R}}^{n+m}\) R n + m with \(n\ge 1\) n 1 . We show that if, in an integral sense, the current has an infinite order of contact with the minimal surface at a point, then the current and the minimal surface coincide in a neighbourhood of that point.
