Abstract: In this note we show that Hamiltonian stable minimal Lagrangian submanifolds of projective space need not have parallel second fundamental form.


An \(n\)-dimensional submanifold of a Kähler manifold of real dimension \(2n\) is said to be Lagrangian if the canonical symplectic form vanishes on it. In addition, a Lagrangian submanifold is said to be Hamiltonian stationary (or \(H\)-minimal) if it is a critical point of the volume functional restricted to compactly supported Hamiltonian variations. A Hamiltonian minimal Lagrangian surface is said to be Hamiltonian stable if the second variation of any Hamiltonian variation is nonnegative. It has been pointed out in [\textit{A. Amarzaya} and \textit{Y. Ohnita}, Tohoku Math. J., II. Ser. 55, No. 4, 583--610 (2003; Zbl 1062.53053)] that when the ambient space is the complex projective \(n\)-space \(\mathbb C\mathbb P^n,\) a minimal Lagrangian submanifold with parallel second fundamental form is Hamiltonian stable. In this paper, the authors consider a particular minimal Lagrangian submanifold of \(\mathbb C\mathbb P^3,\) with nonparallel second fundamental form, and prove that it is nevertheless Hamiltonian stable.
