| Popis | First introduced to describe surfaces embedded in R3, the Willmore invariant is a conformally-invariant extrinsic scalar curvature of a surface that vanishes when the surface minimizes bending and stretching. Both this invariant and its higher-dimensional analogs appear frequently in the study of conformal geometric systems. To that end, we provide a characterization of the Willmore invariant in general dimensions. In particular, we provide a sharp sufficient condition for the vanishing of the Willmore invariant and show that in even dimensions it can be described fully using conformal fundamental forms and one additional tensor. |
