More precisely, we quantify the growth rate of the number of such minimal spheres, and describe their asymptotic behavior as the ellipsoids converge to a cylinder.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2022-07-21T23:38:00.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "53A10", "53C42", "58J55", "34B24", "34C23", "35B32", "49Q05" ], "keywords": [ "nonplanar minimal spheres", "ellipsoids", "revolution", "distinct nonplanar embedded smooth minimal", "global bifurcation techniques" ], "note": { "typesetting": "LaTeX", "pages": 32, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
