Abstract

We prove that an integral Cauchy-Riemann inequality holds for any pair of smooth functions (f,h)(f,h) on the 2-sphere S2\mathbb{S}^2, and equality holds iff ff and hh are related λ1\lambda_1-eigenfunctions. We extend such inequality to 4-tuples of functions, only valid on the L2L^2-orthogonal complement of a suitable nonzero finite dimensional space of functions. As a consequence we prove that 2-spheres are not Ω\Omega-stable surfaces with parallel mean curvature in R7\mathbb{R}^7 for the associative calibration Ω\Omega.
