Minimal Kähler submanifolds in product of space forms (Q6085843)

The authors study minimal isometric immersions of Kähler manifolds into products of two real space forms. They analyse obstructions to the existence of pluriharmonic isometric immersions of a Kähler manifold into such spaces and prove that, in several cases, the only ones are minimal isometric immersions of Riemannian surfaces. They show that the existence of a minimal isometric immersion of a Kähler manifold \(M^{2n}\) into some products of this sort imposes strong restrictions on the Ricci and scalar curvatures of \(M\). They characterise some of these immersions as either immersions with parallel second fundamental form or anti-pluriharmonic ones.
