Slant submanifolds in complex Euclidean spaces (Q1176124)

An immersion of a differentiable manifold into an almost Hermitian manifold is called a slant immersion if it has constant Wirtinger angle. The authors prove that every slant immersion of a compact manifold into complex Euclidean space is totally real. Moreover, they classify proper (i.e., neither holomorphic nor totally real) slant surfaces in \(\mathbb{C}^ 2\) which are contained in a hyperplane or a hypersphere.
