Abstract:In this paper we show that locally there exists a Willmore deformation between minimal surfaces in S n+2 and minimal surfaces in H n+2 , i.e., there exists a smooth family of Willmore surfaces {yt, t ∈ [0, 1]} such that (yt)|t=0 is conformally equivalent to a minimal surface in S n+2 and (yt)|t=1 is conformally equivalent to a minimal surface in H n+2 . For some cases the deformations are global. Consider the Willmore deformations of the Veronese two-sphere and its generalizations in S 4 , for any positive num… Show more
