Equivariant CR minimal immersions from $$S^3$$S3 into $$\mathbb CP^n$$CPn

Abstract

The equivariant CR minimal immersions from the round $3$-sphere $S^3$ into the complex projective space $\mathbb CP^n$ have been classified by the third author explicitly (J London Math Soc 68: 223-240, 2003). In this paper, by employing the equivariant condition which implies that the induced metric is left-invariant, and that all geometric properties of $S^3={\rm SU}(2)$ endowed with a left-invariant metric can be expressed in terms of the structure constants of the Lie algebra $\mathfrak{su}(2)$, we establish an extended classification theorem for equivariant CR minimal immersions from the $3$-sphere $S^3$ into $\mathbb CP^n$ without the assumption of constant sectional curvatures.
