Lagrangian submanifolds in complex space forms attaining equality in a basic inequality (Q645375): Difference between revisions

In a previous paper [J. Math. Anal. Appl. 379, No. 1, 229--239 (2011; Zbl 1217.53082)] the first two authors showed that a Lagrangian submanifold of a complex space form \(M^n(4c)\) of constant holomorphic sectional curvature \(4c\) and dimension \(n\geq 3\) satisfies the inequality \( 4\delta(n-1) \leq (n-1)(nH^2+4c), \) where \(\delta(k)\), \(1<k<n\) denotes Chen's ``\(\delta\)-invariant'' of the submanifold, which measures, in some sense, how much the ``sectional curvature of a \(k\)-dimensional distribution'' can differ from its sectional curvature. In the present paper, the authors determine those Lagrangian submanifolds, for which equality holds in the case \(k=n-1\). In the case of flat and projective ambient geometries (Theorems 4.1 and 5.1) explicit constructions of such (non-minimal) Lagrangian submanifolds are given in terms of minimal Legendre immersions into \(S^{2n-1}(1)\). In the richer hyperbolic case (Theorem 6.1), several classes occur.
