1. Introduction
The study of Lagrangian submanifolds in Kähler manifolds and in the nearly
Kähler six-sphere is a very active area during the last quarter of century. Many
interesting results on Lagrangian submanifolds have been obtained by many ge-
ometers. The Lagrangian submanifolds have been important geometric objects of
study in symplectic geometry [7]. In 1993, the problem of minimizing the volume
of Lagrangian submanifolds under Hamiltonian deformations was introduced by
Y. G. Oh [9]. Hamiltonian minimal submanifolds are interesting and important
object among Lagrangian submanifolds [2]. Using Y. G. Oh’s [9] result, we can
see that compact Lagrangian submanifold M in a Kähler manifold M̄ is Hamil-
tonian manifold if and only if tangent vector field JH is divergence free of M ,
respectively.
On the other hand Ricci flow are intrinsic geometric flows on a pseudo - Rie-
mannian manifold, whose fixed points are solitons, it was introduced by R. S.
Hamilton [5]. In [4], A.E. Fischer introduced a new concept called conformal
Ricci flow which is a variation of the classical Ricci flow equation that modifies
the unit volume constraint of that equation to a scalar curvature constraint. Since
the conformal geometry plays an important role to constrain the scalar curvature
and the equations are the vector field sum of a conformal flow equation and a
Ricci flow equation, the resulting equations are named as the conformal Ricci
flow equations. These new equations are given by

Now, we recall the following results due to Hamilton and Ivey (see [6], [5], [3]):
Theorem 2.1. ( [10], [12]) Let (M, g) is either 2 or 3-dimensional compact
conformal Ricci soliton with potential vector field V . Then sectional curvature
of M are constant.
Also, the following is known:
Theorem 2.2. On compact conformal Ricci soliton (M, g), if the scalar curvature
is constant, then (M, g) is Einstein.
3. Lagrangian submanifolds
In [9] Y. G. Oh defined Hamiltonian deformation of Lagrangian submanifolds in
Kähler manifold. Let M̄ be a complex n-dimensional Kähler manifold with Kähler
form ω, Riemannian metric h, i and complex structure J. Let π : M −→ M̄ be a
Lagrangian immersion from a real n-dimensional manifold M to M̄ , i.e., ω|T M =
0. For a vector field V along π, we define a 1-form αV on M as αV = g(JV, .)|T M .
Smooth family embeddings ed : M −→ P is called Hamiltonian deformation if for
variational vector field V , the 1-form αV is exact. A Lagrangian submanifold M
is Hamiltonian minimal (or H-minimal ) if M is stationary for any Hamiltonian
deformation. Y.G. Oh [9] showed that when M is compact, M is H-minimal if
and only if αH is co-closed, i.e., Euler-Lagrange’s equation-δαH = 0 where H is
the mean curvature vector field of M . We have
M is Hamiltonian minimal ⇔ divJH = 0. (3.1)
For, Lagrangian submanifold M in a Kähler manifold M̄ and the induced metric
g on M , the following relations hold:
∇h = 0 ⇒ ∇⊥ H = 0 ⇒ LJHg = 0 ⇒ divJH = 0, (3.2)
where h and ∇⊥ denote second fundamental form and normal connection of
M in M̄ respectively, and ∇h is defined as
(∇X h)(Y, Z) = ∇⊥
X h(Y, Z) − h(∇X Y, Z) − h(Y, ∇X Z) (3.3)
for tangent vector fields X, Y, Z on M . We note that
∇X (JH) = J∇⊥ H. (3.4)
Let M̄ n (4c) be an n-dimensional complex space from with constant holomor-
phic sectional curvature 4c and let M = M n be a Lagrangian submanifold in
M̄ n (4c).
The Gauss equation is
R(X, Y )Z = c {g(Y, Z)X − g(X, Z)Y } + Ah(Y,Z) X − Ah(X,Z) Y, (3.5)

where R and A denote curvature tensor and shape operator of M with relation
h(h(X, Y ), ξ)i = g(Aξ X, Y ) (3.6)
for tangent vector fields X, Y and normal vector field ξ on M , respectively.
The Ricci tensor M is given by[3]
S(Y, Z) = (n − 1)cg(Y, Z) + h(h(Y, Z), H)i − traceg (X 7−→ Ah(X,Z) T ). (3.7)
The sclar curvature r of M is
r = n(n − 1)c + kHk2 − khk2 . (3.8)
Let T be a symmetric (0, 3)-tensor field on M defined by
T (X, Y, Z) = hh(X, Y ), JZi . (3.9)
Then Codazzi equation
(∇X h)(Y, Z) = (∇Y h)(X, Z) (3.10)
implies that ∇T is a symmetric (0, 4)-tensor field on M . Combining with (3.2),
we can easily obtain followings theorem:
Theorem 3.1. Let M be a Lagrangian submanifold in a complex space form of
constant holomorphic sectional curvature. Then the mean curvature vector field
H is parallel with respect to the normal connection ∇⊥ if and only if JH is a
Killing vector field on M .

6. Poisson equation
The Poisson equation on a Riemannian manifold (M, g) is
∆ϕ = σ, (6.1)
where ∆ is the Laplace operator, σ is the given function, and ϕ is the solution to
be determined. The Poisson equation plays an fundamental role in Physics, also
well known for its importance in Electrostatics, Biophysics and Engineering.
It is known that the Poisson equation ∆ϕ = σ on a compact Riemannian
manifold (M, g) has a unique solution up constants if and only if the integral of
σ is equal to zero [12]. Also, in order to use a Poisson equation to study the
geometry of gradient conformal Ricci soliton (M, g, ψ, λ − 12 p + n2 ), we need
to construct a function σ whose integral is equal to zero.

R
study the Poisson equation ∆ϕ = σ with σ = λ1 (nλ1 − r) on the gradient
conformal Ricci soliton .
Now, we have the following theorem:
Theorem 6.1. Let (M, g, ψ, λ1 ) be an n-dimensional shrinking gradient confor-
mal Ricci soliton and let σ = λ1 (nλ1 − r). If the scalar curvature r is a solution
of the Poisson equation
∆ϕ = σ, (6.2)
then either M is trivial or the first nonzero eigenvalue λL of the Laplace operator
∆ of M satisfies λL ≤ λ1 .
Proof. Let (M, g, ψ, λ1 ) be an n-dimensional shrinking gradient conformal Ricci
soliton [11] and the scalar curvature r satisfies the Poisson equation (see [8], [10])
∆ϕ = σ, (6.3)
with σ = λ1 (nλ1 − r). Note that the function ω = 21 (k∇ψk2 + r) satisfies
ω = λ1 ψ (6.4)
due to equation (5.9). Combining this with equation (5.5) gives
∆ω = λ1 (nλ1 − r) = σ. (6.5)
Therefore, both r and ω are the solutions of the Poisson equation (6.2). Hence,
we have r = ω + k for some constant k . Consequently (see [8], [10]), we obtain
