Totally geodesic submanifolds of the complex and the quaternionic 2-Grassmannians

Abstract: Abstract. In this article, the totally geodesic submanifolds in the complex 2-Grassmannian 2 (ℂ +2 ) and in the quaternionic 2-Grassmannian 2 (ℍ +2 ) are classified. It turns out that for both of these spaces, the earlier classification of maximal totally geodesic submanifolds in Riemannian symmetric spaces of rank 2 published by Chen and Nagano (1978) is incomplete. For example, 2 (ℍ +2 ) with ≥ 5 contains totally geodesic submanifolds isometric to a ℍ 2 , its metric scaled such that the minimal sectional cur… Show more

“…Therefore P is a totally geodesic submanifold of Q m * . By applying the classification theorem for totally geodesic submanifolds in the complex quadric Q m [5], [6] to its non-compact dual Q m * , we know that P is locally congruent to the complex (m − 1)-dimensional complex hyperbolic quadric described in Section 3, and M is a tube of radius r around P . Case 2: k = √ 2.…”

“…Here, k ≥ 1. The totally geodesic submanifolds of irreducible Riemannian symmetric spaces M of noncompact type with rk(M ) = 2 were classified by Klein in [5], [6], [7] and [8]. From Wolf's and Klein's classifications we obtain i(M ) for all irreducible Riemannian symmetric spaces M of noncompact type with rk(M ) ≤ 2.…”

“…For the principal orbits of the action of S(U (n+1)×U (1)), consider the totally geodesic G 2 (C n+1 ) arising as an exceptional orbit of this action. This is known to be complex with respect to the Kähler structure and quaternionic with respect to the quaternionic-Kähler structure [18]. Hence, a short calculation using the explicit expression for the Riemannian curvature tensor yields that K ξ (T G 2 (C n+1 )) ⊂ G 2 (C n+1 ), whence G 2 (C n+1 ) and the tubes around it are curvature-adapted.…”
