Abstract:
In this paper, we study 3-dimensional totally real submanifolds of . If this submanifold is contained in some 5-dimensional totally geodesic , then we classify such submanifolds in terms of complex curves in lifted via the Hopf fibration . We also show that such submanifolds always satisfy Chen's equality, i.e. , where for every . Then we consider 3-dimensional totally real submanifolds which are linearly full in and which satisfy Chen's equality. We classify such submanifolds as tubes of radius in the direction of the second normal space over an almost complex curve in .
