Abstract: Let M be a 3-manifold (possibly with boundary). We show that, for any positive integer g, there exists an open nonempty set of metrics on M for each of which there are stable compact embedded minimal surfaces of genus g with arbitrarily large area. This extends the result of Colding and Minicozzi for g=1.

Review text

Let \(M^3\) be a three-manifold (possibly with boundary). It is shown that, for any positive integer \(\gamma\), there exists an open nonempty set of metrics on \(M\) (in the \(C^2\)-topology on the space of metrics on \(M\)) for each of which there are compact embedded stable minimal surfaces of genus \(\gamma\) with arbitrarily large area. This extends a result of Colding and Minicozzi, who proved the case \(\gamma= 1\).
