Minimal Immersions of Kahler Manifolds into Euclidean Spaces

It is proved here that a minimal isometric immersion of a Kähler-Einsteinor homogeneous Kähler-manifold into an Euclidean spacemust be totally geodesic. As an application, it is shown thatan open subset of the real hyperbolic plane RH² cannot be minimallyimmersed into the Euclidean space. As another application, aproof is given that if an irreducible Kähler manifold isminimally immersed in a Euclidean space, then its restrictedholonomy group must be U(n), where n = dim_CM. 2000 MathematicsSubject Classification 53B25 (primary); 53C42 (secondary).
