Almgren–Pitts min-max theory is a mathematical framework used in differential geometry and the calculus of variations to study the existence of minimal surfaces and other geometric objects that minimize area (or energy) in a broad sense. This theory was developed independently by Frederic Almgren and Robert Pitts in the context of examining the moduli space of minimal surfaces in manifolds.
