Explicit formulas for biharmonic submanifolds in Sasakian space forms

Differential Geometry 2007-06-29 v1

Abstract

We classify the biharmonic Legendre curves in a Sasakian space form, and obtain their explicit parametric equations in the (2n+1)(2n+1)-dimensional unit sphere endowed with the canonical and deformed Sasakian structures defined by Tanno. Then, composing with the flow of the Reeb vector field, we transform a biharmonic integral submanifold into a biharmonic anti-invariant submanifold. Using this method we obtain new examples of biharmonic submanifolds in spheres and, in particular, in S7\mathbb{S}^{7}.
