Sormani's minA-IF stability conjecture for Riemannian 3-tori
Sormani's minA-IF stability conjecture for Riemannian 3-tori
Let be a sequence of Riemannian -tori. Assume that is uniformly bounded above, while and are uniformly bounded away from . Here, is the infimum of the areas of closed embedded minimal surfaces in . Sormani's minA-IF stability conjecture. If , then has a subsequence converging to a flat torus in the volume-preserving intrinsic flat sense as . This conjecture seeks an almost-rigidity statement for the Geroch conjecture that excludes thin tunnels and other-world constructions through a uniform lower bound on the minA invariant. The source does not state whether the conjecture has been resolved.
