Singular geometry governs the physical universe: soap bubble clusters meeting along singular curves, black holes, defects in materials, chaotic turbulence, crys- tal growth. The governing principle is often some kind of energy minimization. Geometric measure theory provides a general framework for understanding such minimal shapes, a priori allowing any imaginable singularity and then proving that only certain kinds of structures occur.
