Willmore deformations between minimal surfaces in \(\mathbb{H}^{n+2}\) and \(\mathbb{S}^{n+2}\) (Q2104111)

The paper proves that -- locally -- there exist conformally equivalent Willmore deformations between minimal surfaces in \(\mathbb{S}^{n+2}\) and minimal surfaces in \(\mathbb{H}^{n+2}\). For some cases, these deformations are global. In particular, by using the Willmore deformations of the Veronese two-sphere and its generalizations in \(\mathbb{S}^4\), for any positive number \(W_0\in\mathbb{R}^+\), the authors construct complete minimal surfaces in \(\mathbb{H}^4\) with Willmore energy being equal to \(W_0\). It is also shown as well that all isotropic minimal surfaces in \(\mathbb{S}^4\) admit Jacobi fields different from Killing fields.
