Constrained Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov calculations based on Gogny's force have been performed to determine the potential energy surfaces, collective masses, and moments of inertia used to build a five-dimension collective Hamiltonian treating quadrupole motion in the [sup 184,186,188,190]Hg isotopes. Many collective states have been predicted at low excitation energy, some of them forming [gamma]-vibrational bands. To expand experimental information on [gamma] bands, high statistics measurements on the [beta][sup +] and electron capture decay of [sup 190]Tl[sup [ital g],][ital m] and [sup 186]Tl[sup [ital g],][ital m] have been performed at the ISOCELE facility. For the first time, [gamma] bands have been identified in [sup 190]Hg and [sup 186]Hg. These new results together with previous experimental information available on the ground state and [ital K]=0 excited bands in [sup 184,186,188,190]Hg form a database which has been analyzed and discussed in the present theoretical framework. It is argued that the first [ital K]=0 excited band in [sup 190]Hg is a [beta]-vibrational band, and that [sup 186]Hg is a nucleus in which shape coexistence occurs not only for the [ital K]=0 bands but also for the [gamma] bands.
