A smooth Jordan curve spanning infinitely many stable minimal disks

Year: 2026
Type: preprint
Abstract: This paper gives a negative answer to Problem 93 for immersed minimal surfaces. It constructs a smooth regular Jordan curve in three-dimensional Euclidean space that spans infinitely many strictly stable immersed minimal disks with pairwise distinct geometric images. Their areas increase strictly and converge to a finite limit.
