In [``Willmore surfaces in spheres via loop groups. I: Generic cases and some examples'', Preprint, \url{arXiv:1301.2756}], the authors of this paper developed a loop group description of Willmore surfaces, which here they apply to the classification of homogeneous Willmore surfaces in Euclidean spheres. Among the results are the following. Any homogeneous two-sphere in \(S^{n+2}\) is conformally equivalent to a minimal one, i.e., either a round two-sphere in \(S^{n+2}\) or one of the Boruvka-Veronese two-spheres in \(S^{2m}\). From which the authors also derive a classification of Willmore \({\mathbb R}P^2\) in \(S^{2m}\). Another result says that there is no homogeneous uppper half-plane in \(S^{n+2}\).
