Abstract
In this paper, we discuss minimal surfaces in a complex hyperquadric Q 2. It is proved that every minimal surface of constant Kähler angle in Q 2 is holomorphic, anti-holomorphic, or totally real. We also prove that minimal two-spheres in Q 2 with either constant curvature or parallel second fundamental form must be totally geodesic.
