In a previous paper [Arch. Math. 67, 519-528 (1996; Zbl 0871.53043)] the first author proved, for each immersed submanifold \(M\) of complex hyperbolic space, a basic inequality for the function \(\delta_M\) which assigns to each point on \(M\) the difference between the scalar curvature and the infimum over all sectional curvatures at that point. In this paper the authors investigate those Lagrangian submanifolds for which this inequality is an equality; these must be necessarily minimal submanifolds. They succeed in classifying all such manifolds for which a certain two dimensional distribution (the orthogonal complement to the ``nullity distribution'' in \(TM\), i.e. the maximal distribution in \(TM\) on which the second fundamental form is degenerate) is integrable. They also describe the case where this distribution is not integrable for \(\dim M=3\).
