Yau's conjecture on infinitely many minimal surfaces

At least 11 years old · documented by

Let MM be a closed three-dimensional manifold. Yau's conjecture. MM contains infinitely many immersed minimal surfaces. This conjecture has been resolved: Song proved the assertion in full generality, following earlier results for generic metrics and special classes of non-generic metrics.
