Critical catenoid uniqueness for first-Steklov-eigenfunction embeddings
Critical catenoid uniqueness for first-Steklov-eigenfunction embeddings
Let be an orientable surface with two boundary components, and let be a free boundary minimal embedding by -eigenfunctions, with multiplicity of equal to . Suppose is a free boundary harmonic map to by -eigenfunctions and is not for any . First-Steklov uniqueness conjecture. Then is the critical catenoid. The source presents this as an open conjecture that would simplify the proof of the existence theorem.
