303:"The 2010 Veblen Prize in Geometry is awarded to Tobias H. Colding and William P. Minicozzi II for their profound work on minimal surfaces. In a series of papers they have developed a structure theory for minimal surfaces with bounded genus in 3-manifolds, which yields a remarkable global picture for an arbitrary minimal surface of bounded genus. This contribution led to the resolution of long-standing conjectures of initiated a wave of new results. Specifically, they are cited for the following joint papers, of which the first four form a series of establishing the structure theory for embedded surfaces in 3-manifolds: 357: 777: 343:
In the final paper cited here, the authors show that a complete embedded minimal surface of finite genus is properly embedded, proving the embedded version of the Calabi–Yau conjectures."
