It was conjectured by Prof. Rob Kusner in 1989 that the Lawson minimal surfaces \xi_{g,1} minimizes uniquely the Willmore energy among all genus-g, oriented, closed surfaces in S^n. When g=1, this reduces to the famous Willmore conjecture. In this talk we will introduce some process on this conjecture. We will first show that this conjecture holds if the surface in S^n has the same (induced) conformal structure as \xi_{g,1}. We will also show that this conjecture holds if the surface is contained in S^3 and is symmetric under the discrete group G_{g,1}. Here G_{g,1} is the group generated by some reflections which are used in Lawons's construction of \xi_{g,1}. Finally we will show that \xi_{g,1} is Willmore stable.
