Hamiltonian-minimal Lagrangian submanifolds in complex space forms
Using Legendrian immersions and, in particular, Legendre curves in odd dimensional spheres and anti De Sitter spaces, we provide a method of construction of new examples of Hamiltonian-minimal Lagrangian submanifolds in complex projective and hyperbolic spaces, including explicit one parameter families of embeddings of quotients of certain product manifolds. In addition, new examples of minimal...
متن کاملInvariants of Generic Immersions
An immersion of a smooth manifold M into a smooth manifold W is a smooth map with everywhere injective differential. Two immersions are regularly homotopic if they can be connected by a continuous 1-parameter family of immersions. An immersion is generic if all its self-intersections are transversal. In the space F of immersions M → W , generic immersions form an open dense subspace. Its comple...
متن کاملM ar 2 00 3 Immersions of Arbitrary Constant Mean Curvature in Hyperbolic Space H 3 ( − 1 )
Our work studies immersions of arbitrary constant mean curvature in H3(−1), as integrable surfaces (i.e., associate families of surfaces). We first present new results related to isometric deformations within this category of surfaces. Next, we give a Weierstrass type representation formula for these immersions. Ultimately, we discuss correspondences between such immersions in Euclidean 3-space...
متن کاملQuadratic Differentials, Quaternionic Forms, and Surfaces
In this paper we address three problems stemming from the fundamental question: Let M be an oriented surface, how much data do we need to identify an immersion f : M → R or its shape? A generic immersion f is determined up to homothety and translation by its conformal class and its tangent plane map Tf : M → Gr(2, 3) whose value Tf (p) at each point p ∈ M is the plane tangent to the image surfa...
متن کاملRegular Homotopy Classes of Immersed Surfaces
IN this paper we are concerned with the problem of classifying compact surfaces immersed in Iw” up to regular homotopyt. This subject started in 1958 when Smale classified the immersions of the 2-sphere [17]. For n 2 4 the problem was then completely solved by Hirsch ([8], theorems 8.2 and 8.4): if M2 is a compact surface then for n 2 5 any two immersions f, g : M2 + R” are regularly homotopic,...
