Constant mean curvature proper-biharmonic surfaces of constant Gaussian curvature in spheres

Abstract

Constant mean curvature (CMC) surfaces in spheres are investigated under the extra condition of biharmonicity. From the work of Miyata, especially in the flat case, we give a complete description of such immersions and show that for any $h \in (0,1)$ there exist CMC proper-biharmonic planes and cylinders in ${\mathbb S}^5$ with $|H|=h$, while a necessary and sufficient condition on $h$ is found for the existence of CMC proper-biharmonic tori in ${\mathbb S}^5$.
