Abstract

For almost all Riemannian metrics (in the C^∞ Baire sense) on a closed manifold Mⁿ⁺¹, 3 ≤ (n + 1) ≤ 7, we prove that the union of all closed, smooth, embedded minimal hypersurfaces is dense. This implies there are infinitely many minimal hypersurfaces, thus proving a conjecture of Yau (1982) for generic metrics.
