Some examples of special Lagrangian tori

A short paper giving some examples of smooth hypersurfaces M of degree n+1 in complex projective n-space that are defined by real polynomial equations and whose real slice contains a component diffeomorphic to an n-1 torus, which is then special Lagrangian with respect to the Calabi-Yau metric on M.

Calibrated embeddings in the special Lagrangian and coassociative cases

Every closed, oriented, real analytic Riemannian 3-manifold can be isometrically embedded as a special Lagrangian submanifold of a Calabi-Yau 3-fold, even as the real locus of an antiholomorphic, isometric involution. Every closed, oriented, real analytic Riemannian 4-manifold whose bundle of self-dual 2-forms is trivial can be isometrically embedded as a coassociative submanifold in a G_2-manifold, even as the fixed locus of an anti-G_2 involution. These results, when coupled with McLean's analysis of the moduli spaces of such calibrated submanifolds, yield a plentiful supply of examples of compact calibrated submanifolds with nontrivial deformation spaces.
