Abstract

Consider the principal U(n)U(n) bundles over Grassmann manifolds U(n)U(n+m)/U(m)πGn,mU(n)\rightarrow U(n+m)/U(m) \stackrel{\pi}\rightarrow G_{n,m}. Given XUm,n(C)X \in U_{m,n}(\mathbb{C}) and a 2-dimensional subspace mm\mathfrak{m}' \subset \mathfrak{m} u(m+n), \subset \mathfrak{u}(m+n), assume either m\mathfrak{m}' is induced by X,YUm,n(C)X,Y \in U_{m,n}(\mathbb{C}) with XY=μInX^{*}Y = \mu I_n for some μR\mu \in \mathbb{R} or by X,iXUm,n(C)X,iX \in U_{m,n}(\mathbb{C}). Then m\mathfrak{m}' gives rise to a complete totally geodesic surface SS in the base space. Furthermore, let γ\gamma be a piecewise smooth, simple closed curve on SS parametrized by 0t10\leq t\leq 1, and γ~\widetilde{\gamma} its horizontal lift on the bundle U(n)π1(S)πS,U(n) \rightarrow \pi^{-1}(S) \stackrel{\pi}{\rightarrow} S, which is immersed in U(n)U(n+m)/U(m)πGn,mU(n) \rightarrow U(n+m)/U(m) \stackrel{\pi}\rightarrow G_{n,m} . Then γ~(1)=γ~(0)(eiθIn)or γ~(1)=γ~(0), \widetilde{\gamma}(1)= \widetilde{\gamma}(0) \cdot ( e^{i \theta} I_n) \text{\quad or \quad } \widetilde{\gamma}(1)= \widetilde{\gamma}(0), depending on whether the immersed bundle is flat or not, where A(γ)A(\gamma) is the area of the region on the surface SS surrounded by γ\gamma and θ=2n+m2nA(γ).\theta= 2 \cdot \tfrac{n+m}{2n} A(\gamma).

Comments

This paper has been withdrawn by the author due to a crucial error in Theorem 2.6 under the metric of Grassmannian manifolds induced from the riemannian submersion
