Abstract: Let $Msubset{mathbfR}^{m+1}$ be a smooth, closed, codimension-one self-shrinker (for mean curvature flow) with nontrivial $k^{mth}$ homology. We show that the entropy of $M$ is greater than or equal to the entropy of a round $k$-sphere, and that if equality holds, then $M$ is a round $k$-sphere in ${mathbfR}^{k+1}$.
