Abstract

We prove a bubble-neck decomposition together with an energy quantization result for sequences of Willmore surfaces into Rm with uniformly bounded energy and nondegenerating conformal type. We deduce the strong compactness of Willmore closed surfaces of a given genus modulo the Mobius group action, below some energy threshold
