Navigating the Space of Compact CMC Hypersurfaces in Spheres, Part I

In this paper, we describe a family of embedded hypersurfaces with constant mean curvature (CMC) in the $(n+1)$-dimensional unit sphere. In the process, we provide evidence for new CMC embedded examples. In particular, for some examples with $H=0$, we verify Yau’s conjecture stating that among the embedded, non-totally umbilical minimal hypersurfaces in spheres, the Clifford hypersurfaces have the least area.
