Abstract: We consider the problem of minimizing the Willmore energy in the class of conformal immersions of a given closed, genus p Riemann surface into R^n for n=3,4. We prove existence of a smooth minimizer, provided that the infimum is below a certain bound calW(n,p). For tori in R^3 we have explicitely calW(3,1)=8pi.
