M. Belkhelfa, A. C. Salah: Surfaces in the nearly Sasakian $5$-sphere, p. 317-330

Abstract:

We investigate surfaces in the nearly Sasakian $5$-sphere for which the structure vector field $\xi$ is normal to the surface and which are anti-invariant with respect to the nearly Sasakian structure. We show that such surfaces are always minimal. We moreover obtain a correspondence between such surfaces and minimal Lagrangian surfaces in the complex projective space. We also show the same results for surfaces in the nearly cosymplectic $5$-sphere.

Key Words: differential geometry, nearly Sasakian manifold, nearly cosymplectic manifolds, sphere, hypersurface, surface, minimal surface.
