Energy quantization for Willmore surfaces with bounded index

Differential Geometry 2023-06-14 v2 Analysis of PDEs

Abstract

We prove an energy quantization result for Willmore surfaces with bounded index, whether the underlying Riemann surfaces degenerates in the moduli space or not. To do so, we translate the question on the conformal Gauss map's point of view. In particular, we prove that in a neck or a collar region, the conformal Gauss map converges to a light-like geodesic in the De Sitter space.
