    A new construction of Lagrangians in the complex Euclidean plane in terms of planar curves

    Full text link
    We introduce a new method to construct a large family of Lagrangian surfaces in complex Euclidean plane by means of two planar curves making use of their usual product as complex functions and integrating the Hermitian product of their position and tangent vectors. Among this family, we characterize minimal, constant mean curvature, Hamiltonian stationary, solitons for mean curvature flow and Willmore surfaces in terms of simple properties of the curvatures of the generating curves. As an application, we provide explicitly conformal parametrizations of known and new examples of these classes of Lagrangians in complex Euclidean plane.Comment: 15 pages, 5 figure

    Lagrangian surfaces in complex Euclidean plane via spherical and hyperbolic curves

    Full text link
    We present a method to construct a large family of Lagrangian surfaces in complex Euclidean plane by using Legendre curves in the 3-sphere and in the anti de Sitter 3-space or, equivalently, by using spherical and hyperbolic curves, respectively. Among this family, we characterize minimal, constant mean curvature, Hamiltonian-minimal and Willmore surfaces in terms of simple properties of the curvature of the generating curves. As applications, we provide explicitly conformal parametrizations of known and new examples of minimal, constant mean curvature, Hamiltonian-minimal and Willmore surfaces in complex Euclidean plane.Comment: 16 pages To be published in Tohoku Mathematical Journa

    The Clifford torus as a self-shrinker for the Lagrangian mean curvature flow

    Full text link
    In this paper, we study Lagrangian submanifolds satisfying βˆ‡βˆ—T=0{\rm \nabla^*} T=0 introduced by Zhang \cite{Zh} in the complex space forms N(4c)(cβ‰₯0)N(4c)(c\geq0), where T=βˆ‡βˆ—h~T ={\rm \nabla^*}\tilde{h} and h~\tilde{h} is the Lagrangian trace-free second fundamental form. We obtain some integral inequalities and rigidity theorems for such Lagrangian submanifolds. Moreover we study Lagrangian surfaces in C2\mathbb{C}^2 satisfying βˆ‡βˆ—βˆ‡βˆ—T=0\nabla^*\nabla^*T=0 and introduce a flow method related to them.Comment: An appendix added and typos corrected; 15 page
