    A Lagrangian submanifold \(L\) of a symplectic manifold \((M,\omega)\) is a half-dimensional submanifold with \(\omega|_L=0\). Lagrangian submanifolds are the central objects of study in Floer homology, Mirror Symmetry, Open Gromov-Witten theory, and many other research areas in symplectic topology. Monotone Lagrangians are a particular type of Lagrangians where the symplectic area \(\omega(\alpha)\) is a positive multiple of the Maslow index \(\mu(\alpha)\), for every relative homology class \(\alpha\in H_2(M,L;\mathbb{Z})\). For example, monotone Lagrangians have well-defined Floer homology. In the complex projective space \(\mathbb{C}\mathbb{P}^n\) with the standard Fubini-Study symplectic form, the Clifford torus fiber \(\mathbb{T}^n_{Clif}\) of the standard torus action and the real locus \(\mathbb{R}\mathbb{P}^n\) of the standard complex conjugation are two of the most well-known and well-studied monotone Lagrangian submanifolds. The goal of the present paper is to study an exotic class of monotone Lagrangian submanifolds in \(\mathbb{C}\mathbb{P}^n\). In particular, the author presents new ideas to obtain results about homological rigidity (or uniqueness) and non-displaceability of certain monotone Lagrangian submanifolds. The model Lagrangians considered in this paper are all homogenous spaces that are isomorphic to quotients of \(\mathrm{SU}(p)\), if \(n=p^2-1, p(p+1)/2-1, p(2p-1)-1\), and to \(E_6/F_4\mathbb{Z}_3\) when \(n=26\), where \(p\) is any integer bigger than \(1\). The author studies homological rigidity of certain monotone Lagrangians in \(\mathbb{C}\mathbb{P}^n\), that is he shows that, under certain assumptions, low-dimensional topological invariants of these submanifolds determine their entire (co)homology. For example, for those Lagrangian submanifold in \(\mathbb{C}\mathbb{P}^n\) whose first integral homology is \(3\)-torsion, if \(n=5\) or 8, he proves that the cohomologies with coefficients in \(\mathbb{Z}_2\) of such Lagrangian submanifolds are isomorphic to that of model Lagrangians \(\mathrm{SU}(3)/(\mathrm{SO}(3)\mathbb{Z}_3)\) and \(\mathrm{SU}(3)/\mathbb{Z}_3\), respectively. He also calculates the Floer cohomology with coefficients in \(\mathbb{Z}_2\) of the model Lagrangian sub-manifold \(\mathrm{SU}(p)/\mathbb{Z}_p\) when \(n=p^2-1\). In particular, he shows that monotone Lagrangian submanifolds \(\mathrm{SU}(3)/\mathbb{Z}_3\) in \(\mathbb{C}\mathbb{P}^8\) and \(\mathrm{SU}(5)/\mathbb{Z}_5\) in \(24\) are non-displaceable. In conclusion, the model Lagrangian submanifolds studied in this paper provide interesting examples for other aspects of symplectic topology and contribute to the classification of monotone Lagrangian submanifolds in \(\mathbb{C}\mathbb{P}^n\).
