Complete Willmore surfaces in H^3 with bounded energy: boundary regularity and bubbling

From MaRDI portal
Publication:906989



Abstract: We study various aspects related to boundary regularity of complete properly embedded Willmore surfaces in H3, particularly those related to assumptions on boundedness or smallness of a certain weighted version of the Willmore energy. We prove, in particular, that small energy controls C1 boundary regularity. We examine the possible lack of C1 convergence for sequences of surfaces with bounded Willmore energy and find that the mechanism responsible for this is a bubbling phenomenon, where energy escapes to infinity.


The authors abstract is suggestive for the content of this interesting paper: ``We study various aspects related to the boundary regularity of complete properly embedded Willmore surfaces in \(\mathbb{H}^3\), particularly those related to assumptions on boundedness or smallness of a certain weighted version of the Willmore energy. We prove, in particular, that small energy controls \(\mathcal{C}^1\) boundary regularity. We examine the possible lack of \(\mathcal{C}^1\) convergence for sequences of surfaces with bounded Willmore energy and find that the mechanism responsible for this is a bubbling phenomenon, where energy escapes to infinity. The paper contains eight sections dealing with the following aspects: 2. Some geometric lemmas, 3. The \(\epsilon\)-regularity results: Small energy controls boundary regularity, 4. Uniform isothermal parametrizations, 5. The key estimates: Small weighted energy in half-ball controls \(\mathcal{C}^1\) regularity, 6. Regularity gain for the limit surface in the small energy regions, 7. Bubbling in the small energy regions, 8. Examples. Other papers of the authors directly connected to this topic are [Commun.
