On energy gap phenomena of the Whitney sphere and related problems

Abstract: In this paper, we study Lagrangian submanifolds satisfying ${\rm \nabla^*} T=0$ introduced by Zhang \cite{Zh} in the complex space forms $N(4c)(c=0\ or \ 1)$, where $T ={\rm \nabla^*}\tilde{h}$ and $\tilde{h}$ is the Lagrangian trace-free second fundamental form. We obtain some Simons' type integral inequalities and rigidity theorems for such Lagrangian submanifolds. Moreover we study Lagrangian submanifolds in $\mathbb{C}^n$ satisfying $\nabla^*\nabla^*T=0$ and introduce a flow method related to them.
