Riemannian manifold M into a K¨ Then M is called a Lagrangian submanifold if the almost complex M n carries each tangent space of M into its ¯ structure J of corresponding normal space. Example 1-3: (totally geodesic ones) R n → C n , RP n → CP n , RH n → CH n . Fact: (B.-Y. Chen and K. Oguie, 1974) a complex space form of complex dimension n > 2 admits no totally umbilical Lagrangian submanifolds except the totally geodesic ones. (Since the cubic form � h ( X , Y ) , JZ � is totally symmetric.) Example 4: Whitney sphere in C n . It is defined as the Lagrangian immersion of the unit sphere S n , centered at the origin of R n +1 , in C n , given by φ : S n → C n : φ ( x 1 , x 2 , . . . , x n , x n +1 ) = 1 + ix n +1 ( x 1 , . . . , x n ) .

� � � Lagrangian submanifolds in complex projective space with parallel second fundamental form Introduction A general method for constructing Lagrangian submanifolds in complex projective space In view of results due to H. Reckziegel (H. Reckziegel, 1985), we have Let φ : M → CP n (4 c ) be a Lagrangian isometric immersion. We consider the Hopf fibration: π : S 2 n +1 ( c ) → CP n (4 c ). Then there exists an isometric covering map τ : ˆ M → M and a Legendrian immersion ˜ φ : ˆ M → S 2 n +1 ( c ) such that φ ◦ τ = π ◦ ˜ φ . Conversely, let ˜ φ : ˆ M → S 2 n +1 ( c ) be a Legendrian immersion. Then φ = π ◦ ˜ φ : M → CP n (4 c ) is an Lagrangian isometric immersoin. ˜ φ : Leg . � Hence, we have ˆ .

Lagrangian submanifolds in complex projective space with parallel second fundamental form Introduction Parallel submanifolds Let φ : M → ¯ M be an isometric immersion. If at each point p of M , the first derivative of the second fundamental form ∇ h vanishes, i.e., ∇ h ≡ 0, we call M a submanifold with parallel second fundamental form, i.e, a parallel submanifold. Examples: straight lines, circles, planes, round spheres, round cylinders in R 3 ; circles, round spheres, a product of two circles in S 3 , Veronese surface in S 4 .

Lagrangian submanifolds in complex projective space with parallel second fundamental form Introduction Motivation of our research work From the point of view of Riemannian geometric, one of the most fundamental problems in the study of Lagrangian submanifolds is: the classification of Lagrangian submanifolds in complex space forms with parallel second fundamental form. In 1980s, H. Naitoh classified the Lagrangian submanifolds with parallel second fundamental form in complex projective space. Prof. Naitoh’s method is based on the theory of Lie groups and symmetric spaces.

Lagrangian submanifolds in complex projective space with parallel second fundamental form Introduction In the irreducible case, the classification is clear, Naitoh completely classified the Lagrangian submanifolds with parallel second fundamental form and without Euclidean factor in complex projective space. He proved that such a submanifold is always locally symmetric and is locally isometric to one of the symmetric spaces: SO ( k + 1) / SO ( k ) ( k ≥ 2). SU ( k ) / SO ( k ) ( k ≥ 3). SU ( k ) ( k ≥ 3). SU (2 k ) / Sp ( k ) ( k ≥ 3). E 6 / F 4 . However, little information is given on how to construct all reducible examples.

We denote by ˜ ψ i : M i → S 2 n i +1 (1) the horizontal lifts of ψ i , i = 1 , 2, respectively. γ ( t ) = ( r 1 e i ( r 2 r 1 t ) , r 2 e i ( − r 1 r 2 t ) ), be a special Legendre curve, where r 1 and r 2 Let ˜ are positive constants with r 2 1 + r 2 2 = 1, γ 1 ˜ γ 2 ˜ ψ 2 ) : I × M 1 × M 2 → CP n (4) is a Lagrangian Then ψ = π ◦ (˜ ψ 1 ; ˜ immersion, where n = n 1 + n 2 + 1. We call ψ a Calabi product Lagrangian immersion of ψ 1 and ψ 2 . When n 1 (or n 2 ) is zero, we call ψ a Calabi product Lagrangian immersion of ψ 2 (or ψ 1 ) and a point.
