Colding–Ilmanen–Minicozzi–White entropy conjecture for closed hypersurfaces
Let be a closed hypersurface, and let denote entropy. The cited theorem asserts that, for a closed self-shrinker, the round sphere minimizes entropy and that sufficiently low entropy forces diffeomorphism to a sphere. Colding–Ilmanen–Minicozzi–White entropy conjecture. Theorem 1 holds with for any closed hypersurface with . This would establish the sphere as the entropy minimizer among closed hypersurfaces in dimensions at most six; the source records it as open there, while noting that the curve case is known.
