Abstract

Let Mn+1M^{n+1} be a closed manifold of dimension 3n+173\leq n+1\leq 7. We show that for a CC^\infty-generic metric gg on MM, to any connected, closed, embedded, 22-sided, stable, minimal hypersurface S(M,g)S\subset (M,g) corresponds a sequence of closed, embedded, minimal hypersurfaces {Σk}\{\Sigma_k\} scarring along SS, in the sense that the area and Morse index of Σk\Sigma_k both diverge to infinity and, when properly renormalized, Σk\Sigma_k converges to SS as varifolds. We also show that scarring of immersed minimal surfaces along stable surfaces occurs in most closed Riemannian 33-manifods.
