On spectral geometry of minimal parallel submanifolds

We consider the problem of characterizing some minimal submanifolds using the spectrum⁰Spec of the Laplace-Beltrami operator acting on fucntions. In particular we characterize then-dimensional compact minimal totally real parallel submanifolds immersed in the complex projective spaceCP ⁿ, 3≤n≤6, by their⁰Spec in the class of all compact totally real minimal submanifolds ofCP ⁿ. Moreover, we characterize the Clifford torus by its⁰Spec in the class of all compact minimal submanifolds of the Euclidean sphereS ⁿ⁺¹(1).
