Abstract

We show that many surfaces in RN21\R^{N^2-1} can be generated by harmonic maps of S2CPN1S^2\to CP^{N-1}. These surfaces are based on the projectors in CPN1CP^{N-1} which describe maps of S2CPN1S^2\to CP^{N-1}. In the case when these maps form the Veronese sequence all the surfaces have constant curvature.
