The higher-genus constrained Willmore conjecture for rectangular conformal types
The higher-genus constrained Willmore conjecture for rectangular conformal types
Let be a genus and let a surface of genus have a conformal type called rectangular in the sense used for the quotient by the cyclic -fold symmetry of Lawson's minimal surface . Let the constant-mean-curvature analogs of denote the corresponding one-parameter family of embedded constant-mean-curvature surfaces. Higher genus conjecture. The constrained minimizer of the Willmore energy in a rectangular conformal class of genus is the constant-mean-curvature analog of Lawson's minimal surface . The source reports experimental support and notes existence of constrained minimizers in the relevant classes when the Willmore energy is less than , but the general minimizing assertion remains open.
