Generic properness conjecture for free boundary min-max hypersurfaces

Let Ω\Omega be a compact domain in Rn+1\mathbb{R}^{n+1} with analytic boundary Ω\partial\Omega. A free boundary min-max minimal hypersurface is a free boundary minimal hypersurface produced by a min-max construction. Generic properness conjecture. For a generic compact domain ΩRn+1\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^{n+1} with analytic boundary Ω\partial\Omega, any free boundary min-max minimal hypersurface must be proper. The conjecture proposes that although non-proper min-max hypersurfaces may occur for specially chosen domains, properness should hold for generic analytic domains; no resolution is given in the paper.
