Abstract
We construct infinitely many embedded minimal hypersurfaces of pairwise distinct irreducible topological types in the unit -sphere , which provides a new answer to a problem of Hsiang. These examples are topologically principal -bundles and Seifert fibered manifolds over closed orientable surfaces. In particular, for any closed orientable surface of odd genus , we show that admits a minimal embedding into . The construction is based on the equivariant min-max theory and the suspended (weighted) Hopf action on .
