An $\varepsilon$-regularity result with mean curvature control for Willmore immersions and application to minimal bubbling

Abstract

In this paper we prove a convergence result for sequences of Willmore immersions with simple minimal bubbles. To this end we replace the total curvature control in T. Rivi\`ere's proof of the $\varepsilon$-regularity for Willmore immersions by a control of the local Willmore energy.
