Abstract
Topologically minimal surfaces were defined by Bachman as topological analogues of geometrically minimal surfaces, and one can associate a topological index to each topologically minimal surface. We show that an (n+1)-bridge sphere for the unknot is a topologically minimal surface of index at most n.
