Abstract

We study Lagrangian immersions in the nearly Kähler \(\mathbb {S}^6\) which are warped product manifolds of a 1-dimensional base and a surface. Apart from the totally geodesic ones, they are either of constant sectional curvature \(\frac{1}{16}\) or they satisfy equality in Chen’s inequality, in which case the immersion is given explicitly.
