Abstract: Let (M,g0) be a closed Riemannian manifold of dimension n, for 3leqnleq7, and non-negative Ricci curvature. Let g=phi2g0 be a metric in the conformal class of g0. We show that there exists a smooth closed embedded minimal hypersurface in (M,g) of volume bounded by CVfracn1n, where V is the total volume of (M,g) and C is a constant that depends only on n. When Ric(M,g0)geq(n1) we obtain a similar bound with constant C depending only on n and the volume of (M,g0). Our second result concerns manifolds (M,g) of positive Ricci curvature. We obtain an effective version of a theorem of F. Coda Marques and A. Neves on the existence of infinitely many minimal hypersurfaces on (M,g). We show that for any such manifold there exists k minimal hypersurfaces of volume at most CnVleft(sysn1(M)ight)frac1n1kfrac1n1, where V denotes the volume of (M,g0) and sysn1(M) is the smallest volume of a non-trivial minimal hypersurface.
