Abstract: We consider 2-dimensional orientable self-shrinkers $Sigma$ for the Mean Curvature Flow of polynomial volume growth immersed in $mathbb{R}^n$. We look at closed one forms minimizing the norm $in{t}_{S}igmaeterm|omega{|}^2$ in their cohomology class. Any closed form satisfying the Euler-Lagrange equation for this minimization will be called a Gaussian Harmonic one Form (GHF). We then use these forms to show that if such a $Sigma$ has genus $geq1,$ then we have a lower bound on the supremum norm of $A^2$. GHF's may also be applied to create an upperbound for the lowest eigenvalue of the operator $L$. In the codimension one case $Sigmaomathbb{R}^3$, for certain conditions on the principal curvatures, we use GHF's to get a lower bound on the index of $L$ depending on the genus $g$. Likewise, in the compact codimension one case we obtain an estimate of the lowest eigenvalue of $L$ and also on $inf|x{|}^2$.
