Abstract: Let $Omega$ be a domain in $mathbb{R}^3$ with $partialOmega=partialleft(mathbb{R}^{3}setminusoverlineOmegaight)$, where $partialOmega$ is unbounded and connected, and let $u$ be the solution of the Cauchy problem for the heat equation $partia{l}_{t}u=Deltau$ over $mathbb{R}^3,$ where the initial data is the characteristic function of the set $Omeg{a}^c=mathbb{R}^{3}setminusOmega$. We show that, if there exists a stationary isothermic surface $Gamma$ of $u$ with $GammacappartialOmega=varnothing$, then both $partialOmega$ and $Gamma$ must be either parallel planes or co-axial circular cylinders . This theorem completes the classification of stationary isothermic surfaces in the case that $GammacappartialOmega=varnothing$ and $partialOmega$ is unbounded. To prove this result, we establish a similar theorem for {it uniformly dense domains } in $mathbb{R}^3$, a notion that was introduced by Magnanini, Prajapat & Sakaguchi in cite{MPS2006tams}. In the proof, we use methods from the theory of surfaces with constant mean curvature, combined with a careful analysis of certain asymptotic expansions and a surprising connection with the theory of transnormal functions.
