Topological type of limit laminations of embedded minimal disks
Jacob Bernstein and Giuseppe Tinaglia
Abstract
We consider two natural classes of minimal laminations in threemanifolds. Both classes may be thought of as limits—in different senses—of embedded minimal disks. In both cases, we prove that, under a natural geometric assumption on the three-manifold, the leaves of these laminations have genus zero. This answers a question posed by Hoffman and White.
