Existence of 5 minimal tori in 3-spheres of positive Ricci curvature
In 1989, B. White conjectured that every Riemannian 3-sphere has at least 5 embedded minimal tori. I will present a recent work with Yangyang Li, in which we confirm this conjecture for 3-spheres of positive Ricci curvature. While our proof uses min-max theory, the underlying heuristics are largely inspired by mean curvature flow.
