Abstract

It is proved here that a minimal isometric immersion of a Kähler-Einstein or homogeneous Kähler-manifold into an Euclidean space must be totally geodesic. As an application, it is shown that an open subset of the real hyperbolic plane R H2 cannot be minimally immersed into the Euclidean space. As another application, a proof is given that if an irreducible Kähler manifold is minimally immersed in a Euclidean space, then its restricted holonomy group must be U ( n ), where n = dim CM . 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification 53B25 (primary); 53C42 (secondary).
