Abstract: In [dLMu05], DeLellis and M"uller proved a quantitative version of Codazzi's theorem, namely for a smooth embedded surface $Sigmasubseteqmathbb{R}^3$ with area normalized to ${calH}^2(Sigma)=4pi$, it was shown that $parallel{A}_{S}igma-idparalle{l}_{L^2(Sigma)}leqCparallel{A}_S^{0}igmaparalle{l}_{L^2(Sigma)}$, and building on this, closeness of $Sigma$ to a round sphere in $W^{2,2}$ was established, when $parallel{A}_S^{0}igmaparalle{l}_{L^2(Sigma)}$ is small. This was supplemented in [dLMu06] by giving a conformal parametrization $S^{2}stackrelapproxlongrightarrowSigma$ with small conformal factor in $L^{i}nfty$, again when $parallel{A}_S^{0}igmaparalle{l}_{L^2(Sigma)}$ is small. In this article, we extend these results to arbitrary codimension. In contrast to [dLMu05], our argument is not based on the equation of Mainardi-Codazzi, but instead uses the monotonicity formula for varifolds.
