Uniqueness of tangent cones under disk decomposition near line segments
Uniqueness of tangent cones under disk decomposition near line segments
Let be a minimal surface with area growth of planes. Suppose there is a uniform such that, for every , there exist line segments , with , and outside an -sublinearly growing neighborhood of , the intersection is a union of disks.
Disk-decomposition uniqueness conjecture. Under these hypotheses, has a unique tangent cone at infinity.
This is proposed as a potential step toward resolving Meeks' uniqueness conjecture. It extends the setting in which all tangent cones are unions of planes with a common axis, while imposing disk structure away from a controlled neighborhood of finitely many line segments.
