Willmore hypersurfaces with two distinct principal curvatures in n+1

Vol. 256 (2012), No. 1, 129–149
Abstract

We classify Willmore hypersurfaces of dimension n 3 in n+1 with two distinct principal curvatures under Möbius transformation group of n+1. We also characterize conformally flat Willmore hypersurfaces in n+1 for n 4 in terms of the hyperelastic curves in two-dimensional real space forms.

Keywords
Willmore hypersurfaces, conformally flat hypersurfaces, elastic curve
