On conformal Gauss maps

Abstract

We characterise the maps into the space of 2-spheres in Sn that are the conformal Gauss maps of conformal immersions of a surface. In particular, we give an invariant formulation and efficient proof of a characterisation, due to Dorfmeister--Wang DorWan13,DorWan, of the harmonic maps that are conformal Gauss maps of Willmore surfaces.
