Abstract
We show that all superconformal harmonic immersions from genus one surfaces into de Sitter spaces \(S^{2n}_{1}\) with globally defined harmonic sequence are of finite-type and hence result merely from solving a pair of ordinary differential equations. As an application, we prove that all Willmore tori in \(S^{3}\) without umbilic points can be constructed in this simple way.

Notes
Observe that whether \(c_0 \prod _{j = 1}^{N} c_{j}^{m_j}\) is a non-zero constant is independent of the choice of root vectors.
