Abstract
For every two-dimensional torus and every , , we construct a conformal Willmore immersion with exactly one point of density and Willmore energy . Moreover, we show that the energy value cannot be attained by such an immersion. Additionally, we characterize the branched double covers as the only branched conformal immersions, up to M\"obius transformations of , from a torus into with at least one branch point and Willmore energy . Using a perturbation argument in order to regularize a branched double cover, we finally show that the infimum of the Willmore energy in every conformal class of tori is less than or equal to .
