Abstract

In [3], B. Y. Chen proved that, for any Lagrangian submanifold M in a complex space-form Mn(4c) (c = ± 1), the squared mean curvature and the scalar curvature of M satisfy the following inequality:He then introduced three families of Riemannian n-manifolds and two exceptional n-spaces Fn, Ln and proved the existence of a Lagrangian isometric immersion pa from into ℂPn(4) and the existence of Lagrangian isometric immersions f, l, ca, da from Fn, Ln, , into ℂHn(− 4), respectively, which satisfy the equality case of the inequality. He also proved that, beside the totally geodesie ones, these are the only Lagrangian submanifolds in ℂPn(4) and in ℂHn(− 4) which satisfy this basic equality. In this article, we obtain the explicit expressions of these Lagrangian immersions. As an application, we obtain new Lagrangian immersions of the topological n-sphere into ℂPn(4) and ℂHn(−4).
