Asymptotic structure conjecture for two-dimensional self-shrinkers
Let be a complete noncompact properly embedded self-shrinker with finite genus. Here a self-shrinker satisfies
where is the unit normal, is the mean curvature, and is the position vector. Suppose that outside some closed ball, decomposes into finitely many connected components .
Asymptotic structure conjecture. For each , either, as , converges locally smoothly to a cone smooth except at the origin , or there exists a unit vector such that, as , converges locally smoothly to the self-shrinking cylinder with axis parallel to .
This conjecture concerns the classification of ends of properly embedded self-shrinkers and their geometry at infinity. It is motivated by rigidity results for self-shrinkers asymptotic to the same cone or cylinder, but the source provides no resolution, so the conjecture remains open.
