Asymptotic Analysis of Branched Willmore Surfaces

الأصل · EN

We consider a closed Willmore surface properly immersed in ᵐ (m>2) with square-integrable second fundamental form, and with one point-singularity of finite arbitrary integer order. Using the "conservative" reformulation of the Willmore equation introduced in a previous paper by the second author, we show that, in an appropriate conformal parametrization, the gradient of the Gauss map of the immersion has bounded mean oscillations if the singularity has order one, and is bounded if the order is at least two. We develop around the singular point local asymptotic expansions for the immersion, its first and second derivatives, and for the mean curvature vector. Finally, we exhibit an explicit condition ensuring the removability of the point-singularity
