Nitsche's uniqueness conjecture for free boundary minimal annuli
Nitsche's uniqueness conjecture for free boundary minimal annuli
Let be the unit ball in Euclidean three-space, and let a free boundary minimal annulus be an embedded minimal annulus whose boundary lies on and meets it orthogonally. The critical catenoid is the rotationally symmetric free boundary minimal annulus in . Nitsche's uniqueness conjecture. Every embedded free boundary minimal annulus in is congruent to the critical catenoid. This conjecture is a uniqueness problem for free boundary minimal surfaces; the supplied text attributes its resolution to Fraser and Li, so it is recorded as solved.
