Willmore conjecture in codimension 1
Willmore conjecture in codimension 1
Let be an integer, and consider smooth surfaces of of genus and their Willmore energy. Willmore conjecture in codimension 1. The only minimizers are the conformal transformations of the Lawson surfaces of genus . The passage states that the complete resolution remains largely open, with recent work addressing surfaces having the same symmetries as the Lawson surfaces.
