We use the methods of Hedden, Juhasz, and Sarkar to exhibit a set of arborescent knots that bound large numbers of non-isotopic minimal genus spanning surfaces. In particular, we describe a sequence of prime knots K_{n} which will bound at least 2^{2n-1} non-isotopic minimal spanning surfaces of genus n.

Plateau's problem is to find a surface with minimal area spanning a given boundary. In 1960, Reifenberg and Adams developed a definition for "span" using Čech homology, and variants of this definition have been used ever sense. However, limitations of Čech homology resulted in the lack of a natural definition for a bou…

Plateau's soap film problem is to find a surface of least area spanning a given boundary. We begin with a compact orientable (n2)(n-2)-dimensional submanifold MM of Rn\R^n. If MM is connected, we say a compact set XX "spans" MM if XX intersects every Jordan curve whose linking number with MM is 1. Picture a soap fi…

Let X and Y be infinite graphs, such that the automorphism group of X is nonamenable, and the automorphism group of Y has an infinite orbit. We prove that there is no automorphism-invariant measure on the set of spanning trees in the direct product X times Y. This implies that the minimal spanning forest corresponding …
