SO(n)-Invariant Special Lagrangian Submanifolds of C~(n 1) with Fixed Loci

Let SO(n) act in the standard way on Cn and extend this action in the usual way to Cn 1 =C Cn. It is shown that a nonsingular special Lagrangian submanifold L (?) Cn 1 that is invariant under this SO(n)-action intersects the fixed C (?) Cn 1 in a nonsingular real-analytic arc A (which may be empty). If n > 2, then A has no compact component. Conversely, an embedded, noncompact nonsingular real-analytic arc A(?)C lies in an embedded nonsingular special Lagrangian submanifold that is SO(n)-invariant. The same existence result holds for compact A if n = 2. If A is connected, there exist n distinct nonsingular SO(n)-invariant special Lagrangian extensions of A such that any embedded nonsingular SO(n)-invariant special Lagrangian extension of A agrees with one of these n extensions in some open neighborhood of A. The method employed is an analysis of a singular nonlinear pde and ultimately calls on the work of Gerard and Tahara to prove the existence of the extension.
