We study immersed tori in 3-space minimizing the Willmore energy in their respective conformal class. Within the rectangular conformal classes with the homogeneous tori are known to be the unique constrained Willmore minimizers (up to invariance). In this paper we generalize this result and show that the candidates constructed in [14] are indeed constrained Willmore minimizers in certain non-rectangular conformal classes . Difficulties arise from the fact that these minimizers are non-degenerate for but smoothly converge to the degenerate homogeneous tori as . As a byproduct of our arguments, we show that the minimal Willmore energy is real analytic and concave in for some and fixed , .

非矩形保形类的第一个显式约束 Willmore 最小化器
我们研究浸入式环面在 3 空间中最小化各自保形类中的 Willmore 能量。在矩形保形类中 和 同质的托里 已知是唯一受约束的 Willmore 最小化器(直到不变性)。在本文中,我们概括了这一结果,并表明 [14] 中构造的候选者确实是某些非矩形保形类中的受约束 Willmore 极小值. 困难来自于这些最小化器是非退化的 但平滑地收敛到退化的同质环面 作为 . 作为我们论证的副产品,我们证明了最小的 Willmore 能量 是实解析且凹的 对于一些 并固定 , .
