The Existence of Embedded Minimal Hypersurfaces
نویسنده
چکیده
We give a shorter proof of the existence of nontrivial closed minimal hypersurfaces in closed smooth (n + 1)–dimensional Riemannian manifolds, a theorem proved first by Pitts for 2 ≤ n ≤ 5 and extended later by Schoen and Simon to any n.

Riemann minimal surfaces in higher dimensions
We prove the existence of a one parameter family of minimal embedded hypersurfaces in R, for n ≥ 3, which generalize the well known 2 dimensional ”Riemann minimal surfaces”. The hypersurfaces we obtain are complete, embedded, simply periodic hypersurfaces which have infinitely many parallel hyperplanar ends. By opposition with the 2-dimensional case, they are not foliated by spheres. Résumé. No...
متن کاملMinimal Hypersurfaces with Bounded Index
We prove a structural theorem that provides a precise local picture of how a sequence of closed embedded minimal hypersurfaces with uniformly bounded index (and volume if the ambient dimension is greater than three) in a Riemannian manifold (M, g), 3 ≤ n ≤ 7, can degenerate. Loosely speaking, our results show that embedded minimal hypersurfaces with bounded index behave qualitatively like embed...
متن کامل$L_1$-Biharmonic Hypersurfaces in Euclidean Spaces with Three Distinct Principal Curvatures
Chen's biharmonic conjecture is well-known and stays open: The only biharmonic submanifolds of Euclidean spaces are the minimal ones. In this paper, we consider an advanced version of the conjecture, replacing $Delta$ by its extension, $L_1$-operator ($L_1$-conjecture). The $L_1$-conjecture states that any $L_1$-biharmonic Euclidean hypersurface is 1-minimal. We prove that the $L_1$-conje...
متن کاملTHE (p,m)-WIDTH OF RIEMANNIAN MANIFOLDS AND ITS REALIZATION
While studying the existence of closed geodesics and minimal hypersurfaces in compact manifolds, the concept of width was introduced in different contexts. Generally, the width is realized by the energy of the closed geodesics or the volume of minimal hypersurfaces, which are found by the Minimax argument. Recently, Marques and Neves used the p-width to prove the existence of infinite many mini...
متن کاملPhase Transitions and Minimal Hypersurfaces in Hyperbolic Space
The purpose of this paper is to investigate the Cahn-Hillard approximation for entire minimal hypersurfaces in the hyperbolic space. Combining comparison principles with minimization and blow-up arguments, we prove existence results for entire local minimizers with prescribed behaviour at infinity. Then, we study the limit as the length scale tends to zero through a Γ-convergence analysis, obta...
