Rigidity conjecture for spacelike entire self-shrinking graphs

Let u=(u1,u2,,un)u=(u^1,u^2,\ldots,u^n) be an entire smooth solution of

\sum_{i,j=1}^m g^{ij}(x)u^_{ij}(x)=\frac12\left(\sum_{i=1}^m x_i u^_i(x)-u^(x)\right),\qquad x\in\mathbb{R}^m,\quad \alpha=1,\ldots,n,

where

gij(x)=δijα=1nuiα(x)ujα(x),g_{ij}(x)=\delta_{ij}-\sum_{\alpha=1}^n u^\alpha_i(x)u^\alpha_j(x),

and (gij(x))1i,jm(g^{ij}(x))_{1\leq i,j\leq m} is the inverse matrix of (gij(x))1i,jm(g_{ij}(x))_{1\leq i,j\leq m}. Assume u1(0)==um(0)=0u^1(0)=\cdots=u^m(0)=0 and

lim infxlogdet(gij(x))x2u(x)212.\liminf_{|x|\to\infty}\frac{\log\det(g_{ij}(x))}{|x|^2-|u(x)|^2}\geq-\frac12.

Rigidity conjecture. Then uα(x)u^\alpha(x) is a linear function for each α=1,,n\alpha=1,\ldots,n.

This proposes a rigidity statement for entire spacelike self-shrinking graphs in pseudo-Euclidean space, motivated by the one-dimensional example and the preceding corollary. The supplied text does not indicate whether the conjecture has been resolved.
