Rigidity of complete self-shrinkers whose tangent planes omit a nonempty set (Q6040453)

The authors prove rigidity results for the sphere, the plane and the right circular cylinder as the only self-shrinkers satisfying that the union of all tangent affine submanifolds of a complete self-shrinker omits a non-empty set of the Euclidean space (Theorems 1.2--1.4).
