2 Basic Notions An even dimensional manifold is called sympletic manifold if it admits a symplectic form, which is a closed and nondegenerate 2-form. Lagrangian Submanifold A submanifold of a symplectic manifold is called Lagrangian submanifold if the symplectic form restricted to the manifold vanishes and if the dimension of the submanifold is half the dimension of the symplectic manifold. A local classification is trivial from the symplectic point of view. (Darboux Theorem) 2 / 21

3 An almost Hermitian manifold (M, J, g) is a manifold M with metric g and almost complex structure J satisfying g(jx, JY) = g(x, Y), X, Y TM. (1) Lagrangian Submanifold A submanifold in an almost Hermitian manifold is called Lagrangian submanifold if the almost complex structure interchanges the tangent and the normal spaces and if the dimension is half the dimension.

4 A Nearly Kähler Manifold A nearly Kähler manifold is almost Hermitian manifold (M, g, J) such that J is skew symmetric, i.e., ( X J)Y + ( Y J)X = 0, X, Y TM. (2) A.

Math., 6(2002), Six dimensional nearly Kähler manifold is Einstein and there is a bijective correspondence between nearly Kähler structure and Killing spinors T. Friedrich, and R.

9 Almost Product Structure on Lagrangian Submanifold Let M be a Lagrangian submanifold in the nearly Kähler S 3 S 3. The pull back of T(S 3 S 3 ) to M splits into TM JTM. There are two endomorphisms A, B : TM TM such that PX = AX + JBX, X TM. (8) A and B are symmetric commuting endomorphisms that satisfy A 2 + B 2 = I. The covariant derivative of A and B ( X A)Y = BS JX Y Jh(X, BY) + 1 (JG(X, AY) AJG(X, Y)) (9) 2 ( X B)Y = Jh(X, BY) AS JX Y + 1 (JG(X, BY) BJG(X, Y)). (10) 2 A and B are symmetric operators whose Lie bracket is zero, i.e., [A, B] = 0. 9 / 21

10 A and B can be diagonalized simultaneously at a point of M and at each point p there is an orthonormal basis e 1, e 2, e 3 T p M such that Pe i = cos 2θ i e i + sin 2θ i Je i, i = 1, 2, 3. (11) Gauss equation R(X, Y)Z = 5 (g(y, Z)X g(x, Z)Y) (g(ay, Z)AX g(ax, Z)AY + g(by, Z)BX g(bx, Z)BY) 3 (12) + [S JX, S JY ]Z Codazzi equation ( h)(x, Y, Z) ( h)(y, X, Z) = 1 (g(ay, Z)JBX g(ax, Z)JBY g(by, Z)JAX + g(bx, Z)JAY) 3 (13) 10 / 21

11 For the Levi-Civita connection on M, Ei E j = ω k ij E k with ω k ij = ω j ik h k ij = g(h(e i, E k ), JE k ), h k ij is totally symmetric. Lemma (Y. Zhang, Z. Hu, B. Dioos, L. Vrancken, X. Wang, 2016) Let M be a Lagrangian submanifold. Let {E 1, E 2, E 3 } be local orthonormal frame. Denote by h k ij and ω k ij the components of respectively the second fundamental form and the induced connection. Then we have θ 1 + θ 2 + θ 3 is a multiple of π E i (θ j ) = h i jj h k ij cos(θ j θ k ) = ( 3 6 εk ij ω k ij ) sin(θ j θ k ), j k. 11 / 21

12 Motivation Lemma (B. Dioos, L. Vrancken, X. Wang, 2016) If two of the angles are equal modulo π, then the Lagrangian submanifold is totally geodesic. Corollary (B. Dioos, L. Vrancken, X. Wang, 2016) Let M be a Lagrangian submanifold of the nearly Kähler S 3 S 3. If M is totally geodesic, then the angles θ 1, θ 2 and θ 3 are constant. Conversely, if the angles are constant and h 3 = 0, then M is totally 12 geodesic. 12 / 21

Wang, 2016) Let M be a totally geodesic Lagrangian submanifold in the nearly Kähler S 3 S 3. Then up to an isometry of the nearly Kähler S 3 S 3, M is locally congruent with one of the following immersions: 1 f : S 3 S 3 S 3 : u (u, 1), 2 f : S 3 S 3 S 3 : u (1, u), 3 f : S 3 S 3 S 3 : u (u, u), 4 f : S 3 S 3 S 3 : u (u, ui), 5 f : S 3 S 3 S 3 : u (u 1, uiu 1 ), 6 f : S 3 S 3 S 3 : u (uiu 1, u 1 ). 13 / 21

Then up to an isometry of the nearly Kähler S 3 S 3, M is locally congruent with one of the following immersions: 1 f : S 3 S 3 S 3 : u (u, 1), 2 f : S 3 S 3 S 3 : u (1, u), 3 f : S 3 S 3 S 3 : u (u, u), 4 f : S 3 S 3 S 3 : u (uiu 1, uju 1 ), 5 f : R 3 S 3 S 3 : (u, v, w) (p(u, w), q(u, v)), where p and q are constant mean curvature tori in S / 21
