A submanifold \(\phi :M\to N\) (codim \(M = p\geq 1\)) is said to be {Willmore} whenever it is a critical point of the Willmore functional \(W\), \(W(\phi ) = \int _M (S - nH^2)^{n/2}dv\), where \(M\) is compact of dimension \(n\), \(S\) and \(H\) denote respectively the squared norm of the second fundamental form and the norm of the mean curvature vector of \(M\). The submanifold \(M\) of \(N = \mathbb C^n\) is called {Lagrangian} whenever \(\phi^\ast\Omega = 0\), \(\Omega\) being the standard symplectic form on \(\mathbb C^n\). Here, in theorem 5.1, the authors provide an explicit formula for \(\phi :S^n\to\mathbb C^n\) which yields a Willmore Lagrangian submanifold.
