Abstract
Consider the principal U(n) bundles over Grassmann manifolds U(n)âU(n+m)/U(m)âÏGn,m. Given XâUm,n(C) and a 2-dimensional subspace mâ²âm âu(m+n), assume either mâ² is induced by X,YâUm,n(C) with XâY=μIn for some μâR or by X,iXâUm,n(C). Then mâ² gives rise to a complete totally geodesic surface S in the base space. Furthermore, let γ be a piecewise smooth, simple closed curve on S parametrized by 0â¤tâ¤1, and Î³Ë be its horizontal lift on the bundle U(n)âÏâ1(S)âÏS, which is immersed in U(n)âU(n+m)/U(m)âÏGn,m. ThenγË(1)=γË(0)â
(eiθIn)orγË(1)=γË(0), depending on whether the immersed bundle is flat or not, where A(γ) is the area of the region on the surface S surrounded by γ and θ=2â
n+m2nA(γ).
