Abstract
In this note we consider homogeneous Willmore surfaces in . The main result is that a homogeneous Willmore two-sphere is conformally equivalent to a homogeneous minimal two-sphere in , i.e., either a round two-sphere or one of the Bor\r{u}vka-Veronese 2-spheres in . This entails a classification of all Willmore in . As a second main result we show that there exists no homogeneous Willmore upper-half plane in and we give, in terms of special constant potentials, a simple loop group characterization of all homogeneous surfaces which have an abelian transitive group.
