Abstract
For almost all Riemannian metrics (in the $C^\infty $ Baire sense) on a closed manifold $M^{n+1}$, $3\leq (n+1)\leq 7$, we prove that the union of all closed, smooth, embedded minimal hypersurfaces is dense. This implies there are infinitely many minimal hypersurfaces, thus proving a conjecture of Yau (1982) for generic metrics.
