Abstract

We establish a rigidity result for the critical points, with boundary, of a four dimensional Willmore energy. These critical points satisfy a 4-Willmore equation which is a sixth order nonlinear elliptic partial differential equation. We establish several curvature estimates and prove that four dimensional Willmore submanifold with totally geodesic boundary condition are umbilic.
