Abstract

It is proved here that a minimal isometric immersion of a Kähler-Einstein or homogeneous Kähler-manifold into an Euclidean space must be totally geodesic. As an application, it is shown that an open subset of the real hyperbolic plane ${\mathbb R}H^2$ cannot be minimally immersed into the Euclidean space. As another application, a proof is given that if an irreducible Kähler manifold is minimally immersed in a Euclidean space, then its restricted holonomy group must be $U(n)$, where $n = \dim_{\mathbb C}M$.Supported by an EPSRC Grant GR/R69174.
