CLASSIFICATION OF LAGRANGIAN SURFACES OF CONSTANT CURVATURE IN THE COMPLEX EUCLIDEAN PLANE
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 23 May 2005
Abstract
One of the most fundamental problems in the study of Lagrangian submanifolds from a Riemannian geometric point of view is the classification of Lagrangian immersions of real-space forms into complex-space forms. In this article, we solve this problem for the most basic case; namely, we classify Lagrangian surfaces of constant curvature in the complex Euclidean plane $\mathbb{C}^2$. Our main result states that there exist 19 families of Lagrangian surfaces of constant curvature in $\mathbb{C}^2$. Twelve of the 19 families are obtained via Legendre curves. Conversely, Lagrangian surfaces of constant curvature in $\mathbb{C}^2$ can be obtained locally from the 19 families.
