The critical dimension for the one-phase Bernoulli problem

Establishes seven as the first dimension admitting a nonflat, one-homogeneous global minimizer of the one-phase Bernoulli energy. Consequently, minimizing free boundaries are smooth through dimension six, and their singular sets have dimension at most n−7n-7 in higher dimensions.
