On minimal immersions of \(R^2\) into the nearly Kähler \(S^6\) (Q705391): Difference between revisions

\textit{Y. Shen} has proved in [Chin. Ann. Math., Ser. B 19, No. 1, 87--96 (1998; Zbl 0906.53012)] that the only complete minimal surfaces in the nearly Kähler \(S^6\) with nonnegative Gaussian curvature and constant Kähler angle are the following: (i) the totally geodesic \(S^2\); (ii) almost complex curves; (iii) totally real, flat, non-superminimal surfaces. In the present paper all such totally real minimal immersions and almost complex immersions from the Euclidean 2-plane \(\mathbb R^2\) into \(S^6\) are determined explicitly. This is done by explicit determination of the almost complex connection forms of \(S^6\) restricted to the surface. Three possible matrix representations of these restricted forms are derived.
