New examples of Willmore submanifolds in the unit sphere via isoparametric functions. II (Q1941070)

This paper is a continuation and extension of the authors' paper [Ann. Global Anal. Geom. 42, No. 3, 403--410 (2012; Zbl 1260.53028)]. The main results are: Theorem 1.1. Both focal submanifolds of every isoparametric hypersurface in unit spheres with four distinct principal curvatures are Willmore. Theorem 1.2. For the focal submanifolds of an isoparametric hypersurface in \(S^{n+1}\) with four distinct principal curvatures, we have {\parindent=8mm \begin{itemize}\item[(i)] All the \(M_{-}\) of FKM-type are not Einstein; an \(M_{+}\) of FKM-type is Einstein if and only if it is diffeomorphic to \(\mathrm{Sp}(2)\) in the homogeneous case with \((m_1,m_2)=(4,3)\). \item[(ii)] In the case \((m_1,m_2)=(2,2)\), the focal submanifold diffeomophic to \(\tilde G_2(\mathbb{R}^5)\) is Einstein, while the other diffeomophic to \(\mathbb{C}P^3\) is not. \item[(iii)] In the case \((m_1,m_2)=(4,5)\), both focal submanifolds are not Einstein. \end{itemize}}
