Abstract

In this work, we prove the existence of a third embedded minimal hypersurface spanning a closed submanifold γ\gamma contained in the boundary of a compact Riemannian manifold with convex boundary, when it is known a priori the existence of two strictly stable minimal hypersurfaces that bound γ\gamma. In order to do so, we develop min-max methods similar to those of De Lellis and Ramic, references in the paper, adapted to the discrete setting of Almgren and Pitts.
