Abstract

We prove $\varepsilon$-regularity theorems for varifolds with capillary boundary condition in a Riemannian manifold. These varifolds were first introduced by Kagaya-Tonegawa \cite{KaTo}. We establish a uniform first variation control for all such varifolds (and free-boundary varifolds generally) satisfying a sharp density bound and prove that if a capillary varifold has bounded mean curvature and is close to a capillary half-plane with angle not equal to $\tfrac{\pi}{2}$, then it coincides with a $C^{1,\alpha}$ properly embedded hypersurface. We apply our theorem to deduce regularity at a generic point along the boundary in the region where the density is strictly less than $1$.
