Ohnita's conjecture on minimal two-spheres in quaternionic projective space

About 8 years old · traced to

Let f:S2→HPnf:S^2\to\textbf{HP}^n be a proper minimal immersion, meaning that f(S2)f(S^2) is not contained in any totally geodesic submanifold of HPn\textbf{HP}^n, and suppose that ff has constant curvature. The immersions fλf_\lambda, fλ,m,tf_{\lambda,m,t}, fm1,m2f_{m_1,m_2}, and fm1,m2′f'_{m_1,m_2} are the families of minimal constant-curvature immersions constructed in the paper, with λ∈{1,3,…,2n+1}\lambda\in\{1,3,\ldots,2n+1\}. Ohnita's conjecture. The immersion ff is congruent to one of fλf_\lambda, fλ,m,tf_{\lambda,m,t}, fm1,m2f_{m_1,m_2}, or fm1,m2′f'_{m_1,m_2}. This extends Ohnita's proposed classification of proper minimal constant-curvature two-spheres in quaternionic projective space; the paper proves the listed homogeneous families and their noncongruence properties, while the asserted completeness of the classification remains open.
