Abstract
The isoperimetric ratio of an embedded surface in is defined as the ratio of the area of the surface to power three to the squared enclosed volume. The aim of the present work is to study the minimization of the Willmore energy under fixed isoperimetric ratio when the underlying abstract surface has fixed genus . The corresponding problem in the case of spherical surfaces, i.e. , was recently solved by Schygulla with different methods.
