A frame energy for immersed tori and applications to regular homotopy classes
- Abstract:
-
The paper is devoted to studying the Dirichlet energy of moving frames on 2-dimensional tori immersed in the euclidean 3 ≤ m-dimensional space. This functional, called frame energy, is naturally linked to the Willmore energy of the immersion and on the conformal structure of the abstract underlying surface. As the first result, a Willmore-conjecture type lower bound is established: namely for every torus immersed in ℝm, m ≥ 3, and any moving frame on it, the frame energy is at least 2π2 and e...
