Uniqueness conjecture for minimal embeddings of the three-dimensional torus in the four-sphere
Uniqueness conjecture for minimal embeddings of the three-dimensional torus in the four-sphere
Let be the three-dimensional torus, embedded minimally in the round four-dimensional sphere . Two embeddings are considered equivalent if they differ by an ambient isometry. Uniqueness conjecture for the Clifford torus. There exists, up to ambient isometry, a unique minimal embedding of in . Numerical simulations suggest uniqueness of the corresponding closed periodic orbit and motivate this stronger claim in the case . These questions are described as challenging open problems.
