A minimal Clifford hypersurface in the unit sphere 
is a product
 |
where 
,
,
and the two factors occupy orthogonal Euclidean coordinate subspaces.
The displayed radii place the product in the unit
sphere and make its mean curvature vanish.
Its volume is
 |
where 
denotes the volume of the unit 
-sphere. For 
, this is the Clifford torus
in 
,
with both radii 
and area 
. The minimum of these product
volumes is the proposed threshold in the Solomon-Yau
least-volume conjecture.
