Abstract: I will discuss the definition of minimal surface entropy and review the results for both closed hyperbolic 3-manifolds and the finite volume case. On one hand, for metrics with sectional curvature no greater than -1, the entropy achieves its minimum value if and only if it is hyperbolic. On the other hand, among all metrics with scalar curvature bounded from below by -6, the entropy reaches its maximum at the hyperbolic metric.
