Definition 2.12 Let (X,J,ω,Ω)(X,J,\omega,\Omega) be an almost Calabi–Yau mm-fold with metric gg, and NN a real mm-dimensional submanifold of XX. We call NN a special Lagrangian submanifold, or SL mm-fold for short, if ω|N≡ImΩ|N≡0\omega|_{N}\equiv\mathop{\rm Im}\Omega|_{N}\equiv 0. It easily follows that ReΩ|N\mathop{\rm Re}\Omega|_{N} is a nonvanishing mm-form on NN. Thus NN is orientable, with a unique orientation in which ReΩ|N\mathop{\rm Re}\Omega|_{N} is positive.
