Abstract

We construct new conformal minimal 2-spheres of constant curvature linearly full in the quaternion projective space HPn by the twistor map π:CP2n+1HPn in a systematic way. That is, we construct 2-spheres linearly full in CP2n+1or CP2n satisfying horizontal condition explicitly. (In the latter case, we consider the natural embedding of the map). We prove all 2-spheres we constructed are non-homogeneous.
