Abstract: We introduce a combinatorial argument to study closed minimal hypersurfaces of bounded area and high Morse index. Let $(M^{n+1},g)$ be a closed Riemannian manifold and $SigmasubsetM$ be a closed embedded minimal hypersurface with area at most $A>0$ and with a singular set of Hausdorff dimension at most $n-7$. We show the following bounds: there is $C_A>0$ depending only on $n$, $g$, and $A$ so that ${\displaystyle }$sum_{i=0}^n b^i(Sigma) leq C_A �ig(1+index(Sigma)�ig) quad ext{ if $3leqn+1leq7$},${\displaystyle }$ ${\displaystyle }$mathcal{H}^{n-7}�ig(Sing(Sigma)�ig) leq C_A �ig(1+index(Sigma)�ig)^{7/n} quad ext{ if $n+1geq8$},${\displaystyle }$ where $b^i$ denote the Betti numbers over any field, $mathcal{H}^{n-7}$ is the $(n-7)$-dimensional Hausdorff measure and $Sing(Sigma)$ is the singular set of $Sigma$. In fact in dimension $n+1=3$, $C_A$ depends linearly on $A$. We list some open problems at the end of the paper.
