Yau's conjecture
In
differential geometry
,
Yau's
conjecture
from
1982
, is a
mathematical conjecture
which
states
that a
closed
Riemannian
three-manifold
has
an infinite number
of
smooth
closed
immersed
minimal surfaces
. It is named after
Shing-Tung Yau
. It was the first problem in the
Minimal
submanifolds section in Yau's
list of open problems
.
The conjecture has recently been
claimed
by Kei
Irie
,
Fernando Codá Marques
and
André Neves
in the
generic
case, and by
Antoine Song
in
full
generality
.
