The min--max construction of minimal surfaces

Tobias H. Colding and Camillo De Lellis

Abstract

In this paper we survey with complete proofs some well--known, but hard to find, results about constructing closed embedded minimal surfaces in a closed $3$-dimensional manifold via min--max arguments. This includes results of J. Pitts, F. Smith, and L. Simon and F. Smith.
