Segre embedding and biharmonicity

Abstract

We consider the Segre embedding of the product $\mathbb{C}P^p\times\mathbb{C}P^q$ into $\mathbb{C}P^{p+q+pq}$ and study the biharmonicity of $M^p\times\mathbb{C}P^q$ and $M^p_1\times M^q_2$ as submanifolds of $\mathbb{C}P^{p+q+pq}$, where $M$ and $M_1$ are Lagrangian submanifolds of $\mathbb{C}P^p$ and $M_2$ is a Lagrangian submanifold of $\mathbb{C}P^q$. We find two new large classes of biharmonic submanifolds in complex projective space forms.
