This is the second in a series of papers constructing explicit examples of special Lagrangian submanifolds in C^m. The first paper was math.DG/0008021, which studied special Lagrangian m-folds with large symmetry groups. The third is math.DG/0010036, which uses ideas from this paper to construct families of special Lagrangian 3-folds in C^3. This paper describes a construction of special Lagrangian m-folds in C^m which are fibred by (m-1)-submanifolds which are quadrics in Lagrangian planes R^m in C^m. Generically they have only discrete symmetry groups. Some of our examples have been previously constructed by Lawlor and Harvey, using different methods. The principal motivation for these papers is to lay the foundations for the study of singularities of compact special Lagrangian m-folds in Calabi-Yau m-folds. Understanding such singularities will be important in resolving the SYZ conjecture on Mirror Symmetry of Calabi-Yau 3-folds. The special Lagrangian m-folds in C^m we construct here include many cones on S^a x S^b x S^1 for a+b=m-2, which are local models for singularities of special Lagrangian m-folds in Calabi-Yau m-folds.

Special Lagrangian 3-folds and integrable systems (2001, background): “In §5 we give an explicit construction of special Lagrangian cones N in C3, involving two commuting o.d.e.s, and reducing to constructions given in [14, 15 ] in special cases.”
Special Lagrangian cones (2000, result): “There is some overlap between the results of this paper and those of Castro and Urbano [2, 3] and the recent series of papers by Joyce [13, 14, 15, 16].”
Lectures on special Lagrangian geometry (2001, methodology): “We now describe five methods of constructing special Lagrangian m-folds in C, drawn from papers by the author [15, 16, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23], Bryant [1], Castro and Urbano [2], Goldstein [4, 5], Harvey [10, p.”
