Equivariant index bound for min-max free boundary minimal surfaces

Differential Geometry 2023-10-16 v2

Abstract

Given a three-dimensional Riemannian manifold with boundary and a finite group of orientation-preserving isometries of this manifold, we prove that the equivariant index of a free boundary minimal surface obtained via an equivariant min-max procedure \`a la Simon--Smith with nn-parameters is bounded above by nn.
