Abstract

Let (M5,α,gα,J)(M^5,\alpha,g_\alpha,J) be a 5-dimensional Sasakian Einstein manifold with contact 1-form α\alpha, associated metric gαg_\alpha and almost complex structure JJ and LL a contact stationary Legendrian surface in M5M^5. We will prove that LL satisfies the following equation \begin{eqnarray}\label{equ} -\Delta^\nu H+(K-1)H=0, \end{eqnarray} where Δν\Delta^\nu is the normal Laplacian w.r.t the metric gg on LL induced from gαg_\alpha and KK is the Gauss curvature of (L,g)(L,g). Using equation \eqref{equ} and a new Simons' type inequality for Legendrian surfaces in the standard unit sphere S5\mathbb{S}^5, we prove an integral inequality for contact stationary Legendrian surfaces in S5\mathbb{S}^5. In particular, we prove that if LL is a contact stationary Legendrian surface in S5\mathbb{S}^5, BB is the second fundamental form of LL, S=B2S=|B|^2, ρ2=S2H2\rho^2=S-2H^2 and 0S2,0\leq S\leq 2, then we have either ρ2=0\rho^2=0 and LL is totally umbilic or ρ20\rho^2\neq 0, S=2,H=0S=2, H=0 and LL is a flat minimal Legendrian torus.
