Weak convergence of branched conformal immersions with uniformly bounded areas and Willmore energies (Q829389)

The author extends \textit{F. Hélein}'s convergence theorem [Harmonic maps, conservation laws and moving frames. Transl. from the French. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press (2002; Zbl 1010.58010)] to a sequence of rescaled branched conformal immersions. He applies this result to study the blow-up behavior of a sequence of branched conformal immersions of a closed Riemann surface into \(\mathbb{R}^n\) whose areas and Wilmore energies are uniformly bounded. In this situation he gives a bubble tree construction and proves an integral identity for the Gauss curvature of the limit.
