Special Langrangian submanifolds in the complex sphere
Recall that a Calabi-Yau \(n\)-fold is a Kähler manifold \((M,J,g)\) of complex dimension \(n\) which admits a parallel (and, hence, holomorphic) \((n,0)\)-form \(\Omega\). Calabi-Yau 3-folds play the role of internal spaces in string compactifications. A (real) submanifold \(L\subset M\) of a Calabi-Yau \(n\)-fold is called special Lagrangian if it is Lagrangian, that is maximally isotropic with respect to the Kähler form \(\omega =g(\cdot ,J\cdot )\), and if the imaginary part of \(\Omega\) vanishes on the tangent spaces to \(L\). Such submanifolds are minimal and have been studied by \textit{R. Harvey} and \textit{H. B. Lawson} as an example of calibrated geometries, see [Acta Math. 148, 47--157 (1982; Zbl 0584.53021)]. Special Lagrangian submanifolds occur as branes in string theory and Lagrangian fibrations play a central role in the Strominger-Yau-Zaslow picture of mirror symmetry for Calabi-Yau 3-folds. Examples of \(SO(n)\)-invariant special Lagrangian submanifolds of the flat Calabi-Yau manifold \(\mathbb{C}^n\) were constructed by Harvey and Lawson in the cited paper. Using a similar ansatz as Harvey and Lawson, Anciaux associates with any plane curve \(\gamma : I \rightarrow \mathbb{C}\) an \(SO(n)\)-invariant submanifold \(L_\gamma \subset S^n_\mathbb{C}\) of the complex sphere (defined by the equation \(\sum_{i=1}^{n+1} z_i^2=1\) in \(\mathbb{C}^{n+1}\)). The submanifolds \(L_\gamma\) are Lagrangian for the induced symplectic structure, as well as for the Kähler form of the Calabi-Yau metric defined by \textit{M. B. Stenzel}, see [Manuscr. Math.\ 80, No.\ 2, 151--163 (1993; Zbl 0811.53049)]. Then, he determines the curves \(\gamma\) for which \(L_\gamma\) is special Lagrangian. Besides the real \(n\)-sphere \(S^n\subset S^n_\mathbb{C}\) and \(2n-2\) examples diffeomorphic to \(\mathbb{R}^n\), he finds \(2n-2\) one-parameter families of special Lagrangian submanifolds of \(S^n_\mathbb{C}\) which are diffeomorphic to \(\mathbb{R} \times S^{n-1}\).
