Abstract

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