Paired calibrations applied to soap films, immiscible fluids, and surfaces or networks minimizing other norms
In this paper we introduce a new method for proving area-minimization which we call "paired calibrations."We begin with the simplest application, the cone over the tetrahedron, which appears in soap films.We then discuss immiscible fluid interfaces, crystal surfaces, and one-dimensional networks minimizing other norms.
