Abstract:
In this short paper, we establish an Hélein’s type convergence theorem for conformal immersions from $\mathbb {S}^{2}$ to a general compact Riemannian manifold. As an application, we extend the existence of minimizer of $\int |A|^{2} d\mu$ for immersed 2-spheres in compact 3-manifolds under certain conditions due to E. Kuwert, A. Mondino, and J. Schygulla to higher codimensions.References
