Let M be a real hypersurface in Pn(C), J be the complex structure and ξ denote a unit normal vector field on M. We show that M is (an open subset of) a homogeneous hypersurface if and only if M has constant principal curvatures and Jξ is principal. We also obtain a characterization of certain complex submanifolds in a complex projective space. Spec...

We prove that a real hypersurface in a non-flat complex space form does not admit a Ricci soliton whose potential vector field is the Reeb vector field. Moreover, we classify a real hypersurface admitting so-called “$\eta$-Ricci soliton” in a non-flat complex space form.
Article
We study Ricci solitons on locally conformally flat hypersurfaces MnMn in space forms M˜n+1(c) of constant sectional curvature cc with potential vector field a principal curvature eigenvector of multiplicity one. We show that in Euclidean space, MnMn is a hypersurface of revolution given in terms of a solution of some non-linear ODE. Hence there ex...

We define Gauss map from a real hypersurface in complex projective space to complex 2-plane Grassmannian. We show that if a real hypersurface is Hopf, then the image of the Gauss map is a half-dimensional totally complex submanifold with respect to quaternionic Kähler structure of complex 2-plane Grassmannian.

First we introduce the notions of \(\eta \)-parallel and \(\eta \)-commuting shape operator for real hypersurfaces in the complex quadric \(Q^m = SO_{m+2}/SO_mSO_2\). Next we give a complete classification of real hypersurfaces in the complex quadric \(Q^m\) with such kind of shape operators. By virtue of this classification we give a new character...

Along a transversal geodesic γ whose tangent belongs to the contact distribution D, we define the transversal Jacobi operator Rγ=R(·,γ˙)γ˙ on an almost contact Riemannian manifold M. Then, using the transversal Jacobi operator Rγ, we give a new characterization of the Sasakian sphere. In the second part, we characterize the complete ruled real hype...

A ruled real hypersurface in a complex space form is a real hypersurface having a codimension one foliation by totally geodesic complex hyperplanes of the ambient space. Our main purpose of this paper is to introduce a new viewpoint to investigate such hypersurfaces in complex hyperbolic space CHn\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \...

We will give a geometric description of real hypersurfaces with constant ϕ-sectional curvature in complex projective space. Besides geodesic hypersurfaces, such real hypersurfaces are obtained as the image of either a curve or a surface in complex projective space under the polar map. As a consequence, we obtain a classification of real hypersurfac...

We wish to attack the problems that H.~Anciaux and K.~Panagiotidou posed in [1], for non-degenerate real hypersurfaces in indefinite complex projective space. We will slightly change these authors' point of view, obtaining cleaner equations for the almost contact metric structure. To make the theory meaningful, we construct new families of non-dege...

In an n-dimensional complex hyperbolic space CHⁿ(c) of constant holomorphic sectional curvature c(< 0), the horosphere HS, which is defined by HS = limr→∞ G(r), is one of nice examples in the class of real hypersurfaces. Here, G(r) is a geodesic sphere of radius r (0 < r < ∞) in CHⁿ(c). The second author ([14]) gave a geometric characterization of...

We give a classification of Levi-umbilical real hypersurfaces in a complex space form M n (c), n ≥ 3, whose Levi-form is proportional to the induced metric by a non-zero constant. In a complex projective plane CP 2 , we give a local construction of such hypersurfaces and moreover, we give new examples of Levi-flat real hypersurfaces in CP 2 .

We define Gauss map from a real hypersurface in complex hyperbolic space to indefinite complex 2-plane Grassmannian. We show that if a real hypersurface is Hopf, then the image of the Gauss map is a half-dimensional regular submanifold and has a nice behavior under para-quaternionic Kähler structures of the Grassmannian. In particular if absolute v...

We will give a characterization of a minimal isoparametric hypersurface with 4 distinct principal curvatures in S5. Also we will construct austere hypersurfaces in S...

We also determine real hypersurfaces in a complex space form whose transversal Jacobi operators have constant eigenvalues and at the same time their eigenspaces are parallel (along transversal geodesics).

We will show that the space of oriented geodesics in Hn is also given s...
