Abstract: The recent advancements in Almgren-Pitts min-max theory have revealed the abundance of minimal hypersurfaces in closed manifolds. Specifically, each min-max width can be represented by a disjoint union of minimal hypersurfaces. However, obtaining precise estimates on these widths remains a significant challenge, even in the case of the unit 3-sphere. In this talk, I will discuss a recent joint work with Adrian Chu, in which we show that the min-max 10-width to 13-width of the unit 3-sphere lie strictly between 2π^2 (the area of a Clifford torus) and 8π (twice the area of an equator). This partially answers a question posed by F. Marques and A. Neves. Our result is achieved via a strong multiplicity one theorem.
