Let x: Ln → $\mathbb S$2n+1 ⊂ $\mathbb R$2n+2 be a minimal submanifold in $\mathbb S$2n+1. In this note, we show that L is Legendrian if and only if for any A ∈ su(n + 1) the restriction to L of 〈Ax, √(−1)x〉 satisfies Δf = 2(n + 1)f. In this case, 2(n + 1) is an eigenvalue of the Laplacian with multiplicity at least ½(n(n + 3)). Moreover if the multiplicity equals to ½(n(n + 3)), then Ln is totally geodesic.
