The authors focus on minimization of curvature functionals in three-dimensional Riemannian manifolds when the ambient space is non-compact. Specifically, they study the minimizers of the Willmore functional among immersed spheres in the three-dimensional Euclidean space. Then they deal with the minimization of related curvature functionals in non-compact three-dimensional Riemannian manifolds. Applications to general relativity are discussed.
