Abstract

In this paper, we first introduce the concept of \(\xi \)-submanifold which is a natural generalization of self-shrinkers for the mean curvature flow and also an extension of \(\lambda \)-hypersurfaces to the higher codimension. Then, as the main result, we prove a rigidity theorem for Lagrangian \(\xi \)-submanifold in the complex 2-plane \({\mathbb C}^2\).
