Abstract
An isometric immersion is called Willmore if it is an extremal submanifold of the Willmore functional: , where is the norm square of the second fundamental form and is the mean curvature. Examples of Willmore submanifolds in the unit sphere are scarce in the literature. The present paper gives a series of new examples of Willmore submanifolds in the unit sphere via isoparametric functions of FKM-type.
