Abstract

The study of geometrical properties of surfaces in homogeneous 3-manifolds is a topic that has received the attention of many geometers in recent years, focusing mainly in surfaces for which some condition in its second fundamental form is required. Recent contributions of authors, which yielded existence results of umbilical surfaces for more general spaces, have paved the way for generalizations of these surfaces in all homogeneous 3-manifolds. Our aim in this project is to determine and study explicit examples of Willmore surfaces, given as solutions of an existence theorem obtained recently by A. Carlotto and A. Mondino. Furthermore, we will investigate the existence of Bryant-like differential for such surfaces. (AU)
