Existence of four minimal spheres in S³ with a bumpy metric
read the original abstract
We prove that in the three dimensional sphere with a bumpy metric or a metric with positive Ricci curvature, there exist at least four distinct embedded minimal two-spheres. This confirms a conjecture of S. T. Yau in 1982 for bumpy metrics and metrics with positive Ricci curvature. The proof relies on a multiplicity one theorem for the Simon-Smith min-max theory.
