Abstract

In this article, we show the existence of a nontrivial Riemann surface lamination embedded in CP2\mathbb{CP}^2 by using Donaldson's construction of asymptotically holomorphic submanifolds. Further, the lamination we obtain has the property that each leaf is a totally geodesic submanifold of CP2\mathbb{CP}^2 with respect to the Fubini-Study metric. This may constitute a step in understanding the conjecture on the existence of minimal exceptional sets in CP2\mathbb{CP}^2.
