Abstract

In this paper, we want to construct conformal minimal surfaces and conformal minimal two-spheres in HPn by the twistor map π: CP2 n + 1→ HPn. The construction is due to Eells and Wood’s conclusion about the composition of a horizontal harmonic map in 1983. Firstly, we give a characterization of horizontal holomorphic surfaces in CP5. Under this characterization, we construct eight families of conformal minimal surfaces in HP2. Then, we study horizontal Veronese sequences in CP4 and CP5, and we transform the construction into solving a quadratic equation. Based on this, we get some examples of conformal minimal two-spheres in HP2 with constant curvature 45 and 413.
