Abstract

We compute the first integrals of the Euler–Lagrange equations associated to actions of curvature energy functionals on suitable spaces of curves in real space forms. Then we obtain closure conditions for critical points fully immersed in the three-sphere and apply the results to specific functionals of geometric interest.
