Uniqueness of regular shrinkers with 2 closed regions

Differential Geometry 2019-02-13 v2

Abstract

Regular shrinkers describe blow-up limits of a finite-time singularity of the motion by curvature of planar network of curves. This follows from Huisken's monotonicity formula. In this paper, we show that there is only one regular shrinker with 2 closed regions. This regular shrinker is the Cisgeminate eye. Moreover, we find some degenerate regular shrinkers with 2 closed regions.
