Halfspace type Theorems for Self-Shrinkers

In this short paper we extend the classical Hoffman-Meeks Halfspace Theorem to self-shrinkers, that is: "Let $P$ be a hyperplane passing through the origin. The only properly immersed self-shrinker $Σ$ contained in one of the closed half-space determined by $P$ is $Σ= P$." Our proof is geometric and uses a catenoid type hypersurface discovered by Kleene-Moller. Also, using a similar geometric idea, we obtain that the only complete self-shrinker properly immersed in an closed cylinder $\overline{B ^{k+1} (R)} \times \mathbb{R}^{n-k}\subset \mathbb R^{n+1}$, for some $k\in \{1, \ldots ,n\}$ and radius $R$, $R \leq \sqrt{2k}$, is the cylinder $\mathbb S ^k (\sqrt{2k}) \times \mathbb{R}^{n-k}$. We also extend the above results for $λ-$hypersurfaces.
