Conjecture on infinitely many half-volume constant-mean-curvature hypersurfaces

Let (Mn+1,g)(M^{n+1},g) be a closed Riemannian manifold with 3n+173\le n+1\le 7. A closed hypersurface encloses half the volume of MM when one of the regions it bounds has volume equal to half of Vol(M)\operatorname{Vol}(M). Half-volume CMC conjecture. Every closed Riemannian manifold (Mn+1,g)(M^{n+1},g) with 3n+173\le n+1\le 7 admits infinitely many closed hypersurfaces with constant mean curvature enclosing half the volume of MM. This is proposed as a constant-mean-curvature analogue of Yau's conjecture. The source gives no resolution, so the assertion remains open.
