Calibrated lifts of minimal submanifolds (Q2580936)

We quote from the author's summary: A canonical real line bundle associated to a minimal Lagrangian submanifold in a Kähler-Einstein manifold \(X\) is known to be special Lagrangian when considered as a subset of the canonical line bundle of \(X\) with a natural Calabi-Yau structure. We first verify this result by standard moving frame computation, and obtain a uniform lower bound for the mass of compact minimal Lagrangian submanifolds in \({\mathbb C} \mathbb P^{n}\). A similar correspondence is then proved for integrable \(G_2\) and Spin(7) structures on the bundle of anti self dual 2-forms and a Spin bundle, respectively, of a self dual Einstein 4-manifold \(N\) constructed by Bryant and Salamon. In this case, analogues of tangent and normal bundles of certain minimal surfaces in \(N\) are calibrated, i.e., associative, coassociative, or Cayley.
