Isometric embeddings of families of special Lagrangian submanifolds

Abstract

We prove that certain Riemannian manifolds can be isometrically embedded inside Calabi-Yau manifolds. For example we prove that given any real-analytic one parameter family of Riemannian metrics $g_t$ on a 3-dimensional manifold $Y$ with volume form independent of $t$ and with a real-analytic family of nowhere vanishing harmonic one forms ${\theta }_t$, then $(Y,g_t)$ can be realized as a family of special Lagrangian submanifolds of a Calabi-Yau manifold $X$. We also prove that certain principal torus bundles can be equivariantly and isometrically embedded inside Calabi-Yau manifolds with torus action. We use this to construct examples of $n$-parameter families of special Lagrangian tori inside $n+k$-dimensional Calabi-Yau manifolds with torus symmetry. We also compute McLean's metric of 3-dimensional special Lagrangian fibrations with $T^2$-symmetry.
