Harmonic maps from $\mathbb{S}^{2n+1}$ into $\mathbb{CP}^n$ with least Morse index

Let $u:\mathbb{S}^{2n+1}\to\mathbb{CP}^n$ be a smooth nonconstant harmonic map. We prove that its Morse index is equal to $ 2n+2$ if and only if \begin{equation*} u = h \circ \pi \circ \Xi, \end{equation*} where $\Xi:\mathbb{S}^{2n+1}\to\mathbb{S}^{2n+1}$ is an isometric transformation, $\pi:\mathbb{S}^{2n+1}\to\mathbb...
