Smooth compactness of self-shrinkers
Abstract
We prove a smooth compactness theorem for the space of embedded self-shrinkers in 3. Since self-shrinkers model singularities in mean curvature flow, this theorem can be thought of as a compactness result for the space of all singularities and it plays an important role in studying generic mean curvature flow.
