Abstract: Let $(Y,g)$ be a compact Riemannian manifold of positive scalar curvature (psc). It is well-known, due to Schoen-Yau, that any closed stable minimal hypersurface of $Y$ also admits a psc-metric. We establish an analogous result for stable minimal hypersurfaces with free boundary. Furthermore, we combine this result with tools from geometric measure theory and conformal geometry to study psc-bordism. For instance, assume $(Y_0,g_0)$ and $(Y_1,g_1)$ are closed psc-manifolds equipped with stable minimal hypersurfaces $X_{0}subset{Y}_0$ and $X_{1}subset{Y}_1$. Under natural topological conditions, we show that a psc-bordism $$ gives rise to a psc-bordism between $X_0$ and $X_1$ equipped with the psc-metrics given by the Schoen-Yau construction.
