Abstract: Let SO(n) act in the standard way on C^n and extend this action in the usual way to C^{n+1}. It is shown that a nonsingular special Lagrangian submanifold L in C^{n+1} that is invariant under this SO(n)-action intersects the fixed line C in a nonsingular real-analytic arc A (that may be empty). If n>2, then A has no compact component. Conversely, an embedded, noncompact nonsingular real-analytic arc A in C lies in an embedded nonsingular special Lagrangian submanifold that is SO(n)-invariant. The same existence result holds for compact A if n=2. If A is connected, there exist n distinct nonsingular SO(n)-invariant special Lagrangian extensions of A such that any embedded nonsingular SO(n)-invariant special Lagrangian extension of A agrees with one of these n extensions in some open neighborhood of A. The method employed is an analysis of a singular nonlinear PDE and ultimately calls on the work of Gerard and Tahara to prove the existence of the extension.

Review text

Let \(SO(n)\) act on \(\mathbb{C}^{n+1}=\mathbb{C}\oplus\mathbb{C}^n\) in the usual way (trivially on \(\mathbb{C}\) and in the standard way on \(\mathbb{C}^n\)). The author shows that a nonsingular special Lagrangian submanifold \(L\subset\mathbb{C}^{n+1}\) that is \(SO(n)\)-invariant intersects the fixed \(\mathbb{C}\subset\mathbb{C}^{n+1}\) in a nonsingular real-analytic arc \(A\) (which may be empty). If \(n>2\) then \(A\) has no compact component. Conversely, an embedded, noncompact nonsingular real-analytic arc \(A\subset\mathbb{C}\) lies in an embedded nonsingular special Lagrangian submanifold that is \(SO(n)\)-invariant. Also, it is shown that the same existence result holds for compact \(A\) if \(n=2\). If \(A\) is connected, then some conditions of local uniqueness of special Lagrangian submanifolds being extensions of \(A\) are proved.
