Abstract
We will review classical estimates for elliptic PDEs, and the notions of stability and minimality for hypersurfaces. The interplay among these aspects underlies a vast number of geometric results, via the regularity and compactness theory for stable minimal hypersurfaces. We will discuss recent progress and open questions.
