Abstract: In this paper, we prove that a two-dimensional self-shrinker, homeomorphic to the sphere, immersed in the three dimensional Euclidean space is a round sphere, provided its mean curvature and the norm of its position vector have an upper bound in terms of the norm of its traceless second fundamental form. The example constructed by Drugan justifies that the hypothesis on the second fundamental form is necessary. We can also prove the same kind of rigidity results for surfaces with parallel weighted mean curvature vector in R n with radial weight. These results are applications of a new generalization of Cauchy's Theorem in complex analysis which concludes that a complex function is identically zero or its zeroes are isolated if it satisfies some weak holomorphy.

Review text

This paper studies self-sinkers, i.e., self-similar solutions of the mean curvature flow. More precisely the authors prove that a two-dimensional self-shrinker, homeomorphic to the sphere, immersed in \(\mathbb{R}^3\) and having its mean curvature and the norm of the position vector bounded from above in terms of the norm of its traceless second fundamental form, is a round sphere. Furthermore, the same kind of rigidity results for surfaces with parallel weighted mean curvature vector in \(\mathbb{R}^n\) with radial weight. These results represent consequences of a new generalization of the classical Cauchy's Theorem in complex analysis stating that a complex function is identically zero or its zeroes are isolated if it satisfies a certain weak holomorphy.
