Abstract
Given a precompact domain , the electrostatic skeleton of is defined as a positive measure inside , supported on a set with no simple loops, which generates as an equipotential curve. Eremenko conjectured that every convex polygon admits a unique electrostatic skeleton. This conjecture has since been proven for triangles and regular polygons. In this paper, we will prove the conjecture for quadrilaterals with a line of symmetry using arguments from conformal geometry. We will also discuss a natural condition that implies the existence of electrostatic skeletons.
