Surfaces with parallel mean curvature in Sasakian space forms (Q2354337)

In this article, the authors study surfaces whose mean curvature vector is parallel in the normal bundle (pmc surfaces) in simply connected Sasakian space forms \(N^{2n+1}(c)\) with constant \(\varphi\)-sectional curvature \(c\). If the pmc surface is non-minimal and \(c \neq 1\) then either the surface is integral pseudo-umbilical and \(n \geq 3\) or the surface is not pseudo-umbilical and lies in a Sasakian space form \(N^{11}(c)\). They also study anti-invariant pmc surfaces in \(N^{2n+1}(c)\) with \(c \neq 1\) and mean curvature vector \(\overset\rightarrow H \neq 0\) and classify all integral complete non-minimal pmc surfaces with non-negative Gaussian curvature when \(n = 3\) (dimension 7). The Hopf cylinders are characterized as well. Finally they demonstrate a non-existence theorem: There does not exist anti-invariant complete non-minimal non-pseudo-umbilical pmc surfaces with non-negative Gaussian curvature in a Sasakian space form with \(c \neq 1\).
