Abstract
Using a combination of direct geometric methods and an analysis of the linearization of the flow about the horizontal bisector, we prove that there exists a unique (modulo rotations about the origin) convex ancient curve-shortening flow in the disc with free boundary on the circle. This appears to be the first result of its kind in the free-boundary setting.
