Bifurcations of Clifford tori in ellipsoids

Differential Geometry 2025-11-05 v2

Abstract

We prove that 3-dimensional ellipsoids invariant under a 2-torus action contain infinitely many distinct immersed minimal tori, with at most one exception. These minimal tori bifurcate from the 2-torus orbit of largest volume at a dense set of eccentricities, and remain invariant under a circle.
