Infinite existence of equivariant minimal hypersurfaces

Differential Geometry 2026-04-16 v1

Abstract

For a closed Riemannian manifold MM with a compact Lie group GG acting by isometries, we show that there are infinitely many GG-invariant minimal hypersurfaces. Under the assumption that MM contains at most a finite number of minimal GG-hypersurfaces admitting no GG-invariant unit normal, we further show that each GG-homology class of MM admits infinitely many distinct realizations by embedded minimal GG-hypersurfaces. The proof relies on a new algorithm that employs multi-stage maximal cuttings. As part of this work, we also established an equivariant min-max theory in manifolds with cylindrical ends.
