| There is a non-degenerate 2-form on S^6, which is compatible with the almost complex structure that S^6 inherits from its inclusion in the imaginary octonions. Even though this 2-form is not closed, we may still define Lagrangian submanifolds. Surprisingly, they are automatically minimal and are related to calibrated geometry. The focus of this talk will be on the Lagrangian submanifolds of S^6 which are fibered by geodesic circles over a surface. I will describe an explicit classification of these submanifolds using a family of Weierstrass formulae. | |||
