In the first part of the paper we discuss the current status of the application of the gluing methodology to doubling and desingularization constructions for minimal surfaces in Riemannian three-manifolds. In particular a doubling construction for equatorial spheres in $S^3(1)$ is announced. Aspects of the current understanding of existence and uniqueness questions for closed minimal embedded surfaces in $S^3(1)$ are also discussed, and some new uniqueness questions are proposed. In the second… Expand
In search of minimal hypersurfaces
We study minimal hypersurfaces from the point of view of min-max theory. We present a proof of Yau’s conjecture for the abundance of minimal surfaces, which builds on previous works by F. C. MarquesExpand
