Abstract

Let Sn denote the n-dimensional unit sphere. Recently, Bolton, Pedit and Woodward [1, 3] have begun to study a class of minimal surfaces in Sn, which are called superconformal. In this paper we will discuss the rigidity of superconformal minimal surfaces lying fully in S2m−1 among all superconformal minimal surfaces lying fully in odd-dimensional unit spheres.
