Willmore Minmax Surfaces and the Cost of the Sphere Eversion

Analysis of PDEs 2015-12-31 v1 Differential Geometry Geometric Topology

Abstract

We develop a general Minmax procedure in Euclidian spaces for constructing Willmore surfaces of non zero indices. We implement this procedure to the Willmore Minmax Sphere Eversion in the 3 dimensional euclidian space. We compute the cost of the Sphere eversion in terms of Willmore energies of Willmore Spheres in R3{\R}^3
