Every immersed 2-sphere with Willmore energy at most 12π admits an energy-nonincreasing regular homotopy to a round sphere or to a surface in the explicit family J, giving exactly four regular homotopy classes below 12π.

The Willmore Energy Landscape of Spheres and Avoidable Singularities of the Willmore Flow
Every immersed 2-sphere with Willmore energy at most 12π admits an energy-nonincreasing regular homotopy to a round sphere or to a surface in the explicit family J, giving exactly four regular homotopy classes below 12π.
