Abstract

Let \ensuremathΣ ? R 3 be a smooth compact connected surface without boundary. Denote by A its second fundamental form and by Å the tensor A?(tr A/2)Id. In [4] we proved that, if ?Å? L 2 (\ensuremathΣ) is small, then \ensuremathΣ is W 2,2-close to a round sphere. In this note we show that, in addition, the metric of \ensuremathΣ is C 0?close to the standard metric of S 2.
