Abstract

We study the first and second variations of isotropic submanifolds which preserve the isotropy. In order to do so, we introduce the notions of harmonic, exact and isotropic variations and investigate basic properties of isotropic submanifolds which are minimal under such deformations. Many results in this respect are then obtained. In particular, we obtain a new characterization of Maslov class in terms of such deformations.
