Abstract
A Lagrangian submanifold is called Maslovian if its mean curvature vector H is nowhere zero and its Maslov vector field JH is a principal direction of A~H~ . In this article we classify Maslovian Lagrangian surfaces of constant curvature in complex projective plane CP ^2^ as well as in complex hyperbolic plane CH ^2^. We prove that there exist 14 families of Maslovian Lagrangian surfaces of constant curvature in CP ^2^ and 41 families in CH ^2^. All of the Lagrangian surfaces of constant curvature obtained from these families admit a unit length Killing vector field whose integral curves are geodesics of the Lagrangian surfaces. Conversely, locally (in a neighborhood of each point belonging to an open dense subset) every Maslovian Lagrangian surface of constant curvature in CP ^2^ or in CH ^2^ is a surface obtained from these 55 families. As an immediate by‐product, we provide new methods to construct explicitly many new examples of Lagrangian surfaces of constant curvature in complex projective and complex hyperbolic planes which admit a unit length Killing vector field.
