Holomorphicity of parabolic stable minimal surfaces of high codimension
Abstract
A classical theorem of Micallef says that if is a stable minimal immersion of an oriented -dimensional complete Riemannian manifold (that is parabolic) into , it is necessarily holomorphic with respect to some parallel orthogonal complex structure on . We generalize this theorem by replacing with for any codimension , under the additional hypothesis that the normal bundle is equipped with a complex structure that is compatible with the induced metric and parallel with respect to the induced connection. This is a necessary assumption for such a theorem to hold, and it is automatically satisfied in the classical case . We also briefly discuss possible further generalizations of such a result to other calibrations and to Smith maps.
