Compactness of the Space of Minimal Hypersurfaces with Bounded Volume and <Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>-th Jacobi Eigenvalue

Given a closed Riemannian manifold of dimension less than eight, we prove a compactness result for the space of closed, embedded minimal hypersurfaces satisfying a volume bound and a uniform lower bound on the first eigenvalue of the stability operator. When the latter assumption is replaced by a uniform lower bound on the p-th Jacobi eigenvalue for \(p\ge 2\) one gains strong convergence to a smooth limit submanifold away from at most \(p-1\) points.
