Abstract: | Summary We study minimal and totally geodesic submanifolds in Lie groups and related problems. We show that: (1) The imbedding of
the Grassmann manifold GF(n,N) in the Lie group GF(N) defined naturally makes GF(n,N) a totally geodesic submanifold; (2) The imbedding S7→SO(8) defined by octonians makes S7a totally geodesic submanifold inSO(8); (3) The natural inclusion of the Lie group GF(N) in the sphere ScN^2-1(√N) of gl(N,F)is minimal. Therefore the natural imbedding GF(N)<span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Lucida Sans Unicode"'>→gl(N,F)is formed by the eigenfunctions of the Laplacian on GF(N). |
