Abstract

We introduce a Möbius invariant energy associated to planar domains, as well as a generalization to space curves. This generalization is a Möbius version of Banchoff-Pohl's notion of area enclosed by a space curve. A relation with Gauss-Bonnet theorems for complete surfaces in hyperbolic space is also described.
