Abstract

We give some general results on proper-biharmonic submanifolds of a complex space form and, in particular, of the complex projective space. These results are mainly concerned with submanifolds with constant mean curvature or parallel mean curvature vector field. We find the relation between the bitension field of the inclusion of a submanifold Mˉ\bar{M} in CPn\mathbb{C}P^n and the bitension field of the inclusion of the corresponding Hopf-tube in S2n+1\mathbb{S}^{2n+1}. Using this relation we produce new families of proper-biharmonic submanifolds of CPn\mathbb{C}P^n. We study the geometry of biharmonic curves of CPn\mathbb{C}P^n and we characterize the proper-biharmonic curves in terms of their curvatures and complex torsions.
