The multiplicity one conjecture on 3-manifolds
Abstract:
Minimal surfaces are critical points of the area functional on the space of surfaces. Thus, it is natural to try to construct them via Morse theory. However, there is a serious issue when carrying this out, namely the occurrence of ``multiplicity.'' I will explain this issue and recent joint work with C. Mantoulidis ruling this out for generic metrics.
