Abstract
We classify Willmore hypersurfaces of dimension n ≥3 in ℝ n+1 with two distinct principal curvatures under Möbius transformation group of ℝ n+1. We also characterize conformally flat Willmore hypersurfaces in ℝ n+1 for n ≥ 4 in terms of the hyperelastic curves in two-dimensional real space forms.
