Abstract

In this paper, we construct a class of homogeneous minimal 2-spheres in complex Grassmann manifolds by applying the irreducible unitary representations of SU(2). Furthermore, we compute induced metrics, Gaussian curvatures, Kähler angles and the square lengths of the second fundamental forms of these homogeneous minimal 2-spheres in G(2,n+1) by making use of Veronese sequence.
