Abstract

We obtain in arbitrary codimension a removability result on the order of singularity of Willmore surfaces realising the width of Willmore min-max problems on spheres. As a consequence, out of the twelve families of non-planar minimal surfaces in R3\mathbb{R}^3 of total curvature greater than 12π-12\pi, only three of them may occur as conformal images of bubbles in Willmore min-max problems.
