Abstract: The asymptotic Plateau problem is a set of problems in hyperbolic 3-space concerning the existence, multiplicity and applications of minimal surfaces asymptotic to a given Jordan curve on the sphere at infinity. I will address some past results, new progress, and open problems. This is based on joint work with Lowe and Seppi.
