Abstract

Our main results are: (1) The complex a Lagrangian points of a non-complex Lagrangian 2n2n-dimensional submanifold F:M\raNF:M\ra N, immersed with parallel mean curvature and with equal Kaehler angles into a Kaehler-Einstein manifold (N,J,g)(N,J,g) of complex dimension 2n2n, are zeros of finite order of sin2θ\sin^2\theta and cos2θ\cos^2\theta respectively, where θ\theta is the common JJ-Kaelher angle. (2) If MM is a Cayley submanifold of a Calabi-Yau (CY) manifold NN of complex dimension 4, then +2NM\bigwedge^2_+NM is naturally isomorphic to +2TM\bigwedge^2_+TM. (3) If NN is Ricci-flat (not necessarily CY) and MM is a Cayley submanifold, then p1(+2NM)=p1(+2TM) p_1(\bigwedge^2_+NM)= p_1(\bigwedge^2_+TM) still holds, but p1(2NM)p1(2TM)p_1(\bigwedge^2_-NM)- p_1(\bigwedge^2_-TM) may describe a residue on the JJ-complex points, in the sense of Harvey and Lawson. We describe this residue by a PDE on a natural morphism Φ:TMNM\Phi:TM \to NM, Φ(X)=(JX)\Phi(X)=(JX)^{\bot}, with singularities at the complex points. We give an explicit formula of this residue in a particular case. When (N,I,J,K,g)(N,I,J,K,g) is an hyper-Kaehler manifold and MM is an II-complex closed 4-submanifold, the first Weyl curvature invariant of MM may be described as a residue on the JJ-Kaehler angle at the JJ_Lagrangian points by a Lelong-Poincar\'{e} type formula. We study the almost complex structure \Jw\Jw on MM induced by FF.

v1: Plain LaTeX, 60 pages. v2, 48 pages: This is a quite modified version of the first one. The residue formula in the first version was not complete, for we used a degenerated metric. We complete it now, using a different path, and some formulas in math.DG/0412389. We explicit the residue in a particular case and correct some minor errors. We dedicate this hard computation to Jim Eells
