Abstract

For every \(\;b>1\;\) fixed, we explicitly construct \(1\)-dimensional families of embedded constrained Willmore tori parametrized by their conformal class \(\;(a,b)\)\; with \(\; a \sim_b 0^+\;\) deforming the homogenous torus \;\(f^b\) of conformal class \;\((0,b).\) The variational vector field at \(f^b\) is hereby given by a non-trivial zero direction of a penalized Willmore stability operator which we show to coincide with a double point of the corresponding spectral curve. Further, we characterize for \(b \sim 1\), \(b \neq 1\) and \(a \sim_b 0^+\) the family obtained by opening the "smallest" double point on the spectral curve which is heuristically the direction with the smallest increase of Willmore energy at \(f^b\). Indeed we show in \cite{HelNdi1} that these candidates minimize the Willmore energy in their respective conformal class for \(b \sim 1\), \(b \neq 1\) and \(a \sim_b 0^+.\)
