Kusner–McGrath's eigenspace conjecture for embedded free boundary minimal surfaces
Kusner–McGrath's eigenspace conjecture for embedded free boundary minimal surfaces
Let be a properly embedded free boundary minimal surface in the unit ball . Consider the first Steklov eigenspace of , and let the coordinate functions of the embedding be viewed as functions on .
Kusner–McGrath's conjecture. The first Steklov eigenspace of coincides with the span of the coordinate functions of the embedding.
This is presented as a stronger version of the Fraser–Li spectral-index conjecture. The supplied material reports verification under substantially weaker symmetry assumptions, but no general resolution.
