Abstract

Let X:M\hookS5 X: M \hook S^5 be a compact Legendrian surface in pseudoconformal(CR) 5-sphere. We introduce a pseudoconformally invariant Willmore type second order functional \W(X) \W(X), and study its critical points called Willmore Legendrian surfaces. The fifth order structure equations show that Willmore dual can be defined for a class of Willmore Legendrian surfaces. Moreover when this dual is constant, Willmore Legendrian surface admits a Weierstra\ss type representation in terms of immersed meromorphic curve in \C2 \C^2 satisfying an appropriate real period condition via pseudoconformal stereographic projection. We show that every compact Riemann surface admits a generally one to one, conformal, Willmore Legendrian immersion in S5 S^5 with constant Willmore dual. As a corollary, every compact Riemann surface can be conformally immersed in \C2 \C^2 as an exact, algebraic Lagrangian surface.
