A note on Willmore minimizing Klein bottles in Euclidean space

Differential Geometry 2017-03-01 v2 Analysis of PDEs

Abstract

We show that Lawson's bipolar surface τ~3,1\tilde\tau_{3,1} is after stereographic projection the unique minimizer among immersed Klein bottles in its conformal class. We conjecture that it actually is the unique minimizer among immersed Klein bottles into Rn\mathbb{R}^n, n4n\geq 4, whose existence the authors and P. Breuning proved in a previous paper.
