On minimal Lagrangian surfaces in the product of Riemannian two manifolds (Q2346204)

Let \((\Sigma_1,g_1)\) and \((\Sigma_2,g_2)\) be connected, complete and orientable 2-dimensional Riemannian manifolds. The paper considers two canonical Kähler structures \((G^\epsilon,J,\Omega^\epsilon)\) on the product 4-manifold \(\Sigma_1\times\Sigma_2\) given by \(G^\epsilon=g_1\oplus\epsilon g_2,\;\epsilon=\pm1\) and \(J\) is the canonical product complex structure. Thus, for \(\epsilon=1\) the Kähler metric \(G^+\) is Riemannian, while for \(\epsilon=-1\), \(G^-\) is of neutral signature. The author shows that the metric \(G^\epsilon\) is locally conformally flat if and only if the Gauss curvatures \(\kappa(g_1)\) and \(\kappa(g_2)\) are both constants satisfying \(\kappa(g_1)=-\epsilon\kappa(g_2)\). The author also gives conditions on the Gauss curvatures, for which every \(G^\epsilon\)-minimal Lagrangian surface is the product \(\gamma_1\times\gamma_2\subset\Sigma_1\times\Sigma_2\), where \(\gamma_1\) and \(\gamma_2\) are geodesics of \((\Sigma_1,g_1)\) and \((\Sigma_2,g_2)\), respectively. Finally, he explores the Hamiltonian stability of projected rank-one Hamiltonian \(G^\epsilon\)-minimal surfaces.
