Abstract: The existence of minimal surfaces in three-manifolds is a classical problem in both geometric analysis and geometric topology. In the past years, this question has been settled for closed, and also for finite volume, riemannian three-manifolds. In this talk, we will prove the existence of smoothly embedded, closed, minimal surfaces in any infinite volume hyperbolic three-manifold, barring a few special cases.
