Title: Stability and structure of minimal hypersurfaces

Abstract: In this talk, a general method will be discussed in 
the use of studying the structure of complete stable minimal 
hypersurfaces (or more generally minimal hypersurfaces with 
finite index) in a complete Riemannian manifold with nonnegative 
curvature.  Some historical perspective will be given.  I will 
also demonstrate how one can use this method to recover previously 
known theorems as well as proving new results, hence putting 
the theory into one unified framework.
