Topological Type of Limit Laminations of Embedded Minimal Disks
We consider two natural classes of minimal laminations in three-manifolds.
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 are
topologically either disks, annuli or Moebius bands. This answers a question
posed by Hoffman and White.Comment: 21 pages. Published versio
