Abstract

We study a class of fourth-order geometric problems modeling Willmore surfaces, conformally constrained Willmore surfaces, isoperimetrically constrained Willmore surfaces, and bi-harmonic surfaces in the sense of Chen, among others. We prove several local energy estimates and derive a global gap lemma.
