Cylindrical self-shrinker rigidity conjecture

Let ΣnRn+1\Sigma^n\subset\mathbb{R}^{n+1} be a smooth embedded self-shrinker with entropy at most α\alpha, where α>1\alpha>1. Let BRB_R be the Euclidean ball of radius RR, and let HH denote the mean curvature. Cylindrical self-shrinker rigidity conjecture. For every nn and α>1\alpha>1, there exists R=R(n,α)>0R=R(n,\alpha)>0 such that if H0H\geq 0 on BRΣB_R\cap\Sigma, then H0H\geq 0 on all of Σ\Sigma and consequently Σ\Sigma is a generalized cylinder Sk×Rnk\mathbb{S}^k\times\mathbb{R}^{n-k}. The claim is part of work described as in progress; the source does not report a resolution.
