Conformal invariance of higher DSII integrals for surfaces

From papers

Let the DSII hierarchy be the integrable hierarchy governing deformations of surfaces immersed in R4\mathbb{R}^4, R3,1\mathbb{R}^{3,1}, and R2,2\mathbb{R}^{2,2} via generalized Weierstrass representations. Its higher integrals of motion define functionals on these surfaces. Conformal invariance conjecture. Higher integrals of motion for the DSII hierarchy are functionals on surfaces in R4\mathbb{R}^4, R3,1\mathbb{R}^{3,1}, and R2,2\mathbb{R}^{2,2} that are invariant under conformal transformations in these spaces. The Willmore functional is already known to have this conformal invariance, motivating the proposed extension to the higher integrals of motion; no resolution is given here.
