Abstract
We consider the behaviour of capillary surfaces in domains that contain a c orner The local behaviour at the corner can depend strongly on the contact angle (gamma) and the corner angle (2 alpha). We outline the full range of possibilities for 0 < gamma less than or equal to 1/2 pi, including the tra nsitions between the various regimes.
