Surfaces with parallel mean curvature vector in complex space forms

摘要

We consider surfaces with parallel mean curvature vector (pmc surfaces) in complex space forms and introduce a holomorphic differential on such surfaces. When the complex dimension of the ambient space is equal to two we find a second holomorphic differential and then determine those pmc surfaces on which both differentials vanish. We also provide a reduction of codimension theorem and prove a non-existence result for pmc 2-spheres in complex space forms.
