Optimization of shapes other than minimal surfaces (49Q10)

Abstract: We discuss the minimum of Willmore functional of torus in a Riemannian manifold $N$, especially for the case that $N$ is a product manifold. We show that when $N=S^{2}imes{S}^1$, the minimum of $W(T^2)$ is 0, and when $N=R^{2}imes{S}^1$, there exists no torus having least Willmore functional. When $N=H^2(-c)imes{S}^1$, and $x=gammaimes{S}^1$, the minimum of $W(x)$ is $2p{i}^{2}sqrtc$.
