Rigidity of conformal minimal immersions of constant curvature from $S^2$ to $Q_4$

Abstract

Geometry of conformal minimal two-spheres immersed in $G(2,6;\mathbb{R})$ is studied in this paper by harmonic maps. We construct a non-homogeneous constant curved minimal two-sphere in $G(2,6;\mathbb{R})$, and give a classification theorem of linearly full conformal minimal immersions of constant curvature from $S^2$ to $G(2,6;\mathbb{R})$, or equivalently, a complex hyperquadric $Q_4$, which illustrates minimal two-spheres of constant curvature in $Q_4$ are in general not congruent.
