Abstract

Given a precompact domain ΩR2\Omega \subseteq\mathbb{R}^2, the electrostatic skeleton of Ω\Omega is defined as a positive measure inside Ω\Omega, supported on a set with no simple loops, which generates Ω\partial \Omega 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.
