Beitr\"age zur Algebra und Geometrie Contributions to Algebra and Geometry Volume 36 (1995), No. 1 Minimal Surfaces in a Complex Projective Space whose Mean Curvature Vectors are Eigenvectors Shi-jie Li and Qi-bin Chen B.Y.\ Chen [Null 2-type surfaces in Euclidean space, Algebra, Analysis and Geometry, Taipei, World Scientific 1989, 1-18] initiated the study of submanifolds whose mean curvature vector $H$ is an eigenvector of the Laplacian $\Delta$. In this article, we study this problem for minimal surfaces in $CP^n$. Two classification theorems are obtained.
