| Jan 20, 2016 at 3:53 | comment | added | Deane Yang | It suffices to compute or estimate the Willmore energy for an explicit embedding of the surface. I imagine there are a number of ways to do this. One possible approach for a surface of genus $g$ is to embed $g$ copies of the torus explicitly and glue them together by removing small disks and attaching a small cylinder that flattens out at both ends. The total Willmore functional of the surface is roughly equal to the sum of the Willmore functionals of the $g$ tori and $g-1$ cylinders. These can be estimated using the explicit formulas defining them. | |
