Lower bound for the perimeter density at singular points of a minimizing cluster in N
ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations, Tome 26 (2020), article no. 1.

In this paper, we study the blow-ups of the singular points in the boundary of a minimizing cluster lying in the interface of more than two chambers. We establish a sharp lower bound for the perimeter density at those points and we prove that this bound is rigid, namely having the lowest possible density completely characterizes the blow-up.
