Differential Geometry 2018-06-25 v1

Abstract

In this paper we completely classify the homogeneous two-spheres, especially, the minimal homogeneous ones in the quaternionic projective space HPn\textbf{HP}^n. According to our classification, more minimal constant curved two-spheres in HPn\textbf{HP}^n are obtained than Ohnita conjectured in the paper "Homogeneous harmonic maps into projective space, Tokyo J Math, 1990, 13(1): 87-116".
