Cayley submanifolds of Calabi-Yau 4-folds

Our main results are: (1) The complex a Lagrangian points of a non-complex Lagrangian $2n$-dimensional submanifold $F:M\ra N$, immersed with parallel mean curvature and with equal Kaehler angles into a Kaehler-Einstein manifold $(N,J,g)$ of complex dimension $2n$, are zeros of finite order of $\sin^2θ$ and $\cos^2θ$ respectively, where $θ$ is the common $J$-Kaelher angle. (2) If $M$ is a Cayley submanifold of a Calabi-Yau (CY) manifold $N$ of complex dimension 4, then $\bigwedge^2_+NM$ is naturally isomorphic to $\bigwedge^2_+TM$. (3) If $N$ is Ricci-flat (not necessarily CY) and $M$ is a Cayley submanifold, then $ p_1(\bigwedge^2_+NM)= p_1(\bigwedge^2_+TM)$ still holds, but $p_1(\bigwedge^2_-NM)- p_1(\bigwedge^2_-TM)$ may describe a residue on the $J$-complex points, in the sense of Harvey and Lawson. We describe this residue by a PDE on a natural morphism $Φ:TM \to NM$, $Φ(X)=(JX)^{\bot}$, with singularities at the complex points. We give an explicit formula of this residue in a particular case. When $(N,I,J,K,g)$ is an hyper-Kaehler manifold and $M$ is an $I$-complex closed 4-submanifold, the first Weyl curvature invariant of $M$ may be described as a residue on the $J$-Kaehler angle at the $J$_Lagrangian points by a Lelong-Poincaré type formula. We study the almost complex structure $\Jw$ on $M$ induced by $F$.

Transgression forms in dimension 4

We compute explicit transgression forms for the Euler and Pontrjagin classes of a Riemannian manifold $M$ of dimension 4 under a conformal change of the metric, or a change to a Riemannian connection with torsion. These formulae describe the singular set of some connections with singularities on compact manifolds as a residue formula in terms of a polynomial of invariants. We give some applications for minimal submanifolds of Kaehler manifolds. We also express the difference of the first Chern class of two almost complex structures, and in particular an obstruction to the existence of a homotopy between them, by a residue formula along the set of anti-complex points. Finally, we take the first steps in the study of obstructions for two almost quaternionic-Hermitian structures on a manifold of dimension 8 to have homotopic fundamental forms or isomorphic twistor spaces.
