review text: In [J. Differ. Geom. 95, No. 1, 53--69 (2013; Zbl 1278.53069)] \textit{T. H. Colding} et al. showed that the round sphere \({\mathbb S}^n_*\), centered at \(0\) and with radius \(\sqrt{2n}\), has the least entropy of any closed self-shrinker in the standard Euclidean space \({\mathbb R}^{n+1}\). They also asked if the same assertion holds for any non-flat self-shrinker \(\Sigma \subset {\mathbb R}^{n+1}\) with \(n \leq 6\). Let \(\Sigma \subset {\mathbb R}^{n+1}\) for \(n\geq 2\) be an asymptotically conical self-shrinker. The main theorem of the paper says that if the entropy of \(\Sigma\) is not larger than that of \({\mathbb S}^{n-1}_*\) then the link of the asymptotic cone of \(\Sigma\) separates \({\mathbb S}^n\) into two connected components diffeomorphic to \(\Sigma\). This allows the authors to classify self-shrinkers in \({\mathbb R}^3\) with small entropy. In particular, this implies for \(n=2\) the above conjecture of Colding et al. [loc. cit.].
