Uniqueness of self-similar shrinkers with asymptotically cylindrical ends (Q294271)

Using Carleman inequalities on the backward uniqueness of parabolic equations the author proves the uniqueness of smooth embedded self-similar shrinkers of the mean curvature flow which are asymptotic to a generalized cylinder up to infinite order. The author also constructs non-rotationally metric self-shrinking ends which are asymptotic to a generalized cylinder with rate as fast as any given polynomial.
