Hsiang–Lawson's conjecture
From HandWiki
Short description: Theorem that the Clifford torus is the only minimally embedded torus in the 3-sphere
In mathematics, Lawson's conjecture states that the Clifford torus is the only minimally embedded torus in the 3-sphere S3.[1][2] The conjecture was featured by the Australian Mathematical Society Gazette as part of the Millennium Problems series.[3]
In March 2012, Simon Brendle gave a proof of this conjecture, based on maximum principle techniques.[4]
