Popis: A complex Grassmann manifold G 2 ( C m + 2 ) of all 2-dimensional complex subspaces in C m + 2 has two nice geometric structures – the Kahler structure and the quaternionic Kahler structure. We study totally complex submanifolds of G 2 ( C m + 2 ) with respect to the quaternionic Kahler structure. We show that the projective cotangent bundle P ( T ⁎ C P m + 1 ) of a complex projective space C P m + 1 is a twistor space of the quaternionic Kahler manifold G 2 ( C m + 2 ) . Applying the twistor theory, we construct maximal totally complex submanifolds of G 2 ( C m + 2 ) from complex submanifolds of C P m + 1 . Then we obtain many interesting examples. In particular we classify maximal homogeneous totally complex submanifolds. We show the relationship between the geometry of complex submanifolds of C P m + 1 and that of totally complex submanifolds of G 2 ( C m + 2 ) .
