Abstract

Roughly speaking, an ideal immersion of a Riemannian manifold into a space form is an isometric immersion which produces the least possible amount of tension from the ambient space at each point of the submanifold. In this paper we study Lagrangian immersions in complex space forms which are ideal. We prove that all Lagrangian ideal immersions in a complex space form are minimal. We also determine ideal Lagrangian submanifolds in complex space forms.
