Abstract: This paper studies the regularity of constrained Willmore immersions into locally around both "regular" points and around branch points, where the immersive nature of the map degenerates. We develop local asymptotic expansions for the immersion, its first, and its second derivatives, given in terms of residues which are computed as circulation integrals. We deduce explicit "point removability" conditions ensuring that the immersion is smooth. Our results apply in particular to Willmore immersions and to parallel mean curvature immersions in any codimension.
