Real Hypersurfaces with Two Principal Curvatures in Complex Projective and Hyperbolic Planes

We find the first examples of real hypersurfaces with two nonconstant principal curvatures in complex projective and hyperbolic planes, and we classify them. It turns out that each such hypersurface is foliated by equidistant Lagrangian flat surfaces with parallel mean curvature or, equivalently, by principal orbits of a cohomogeneity two polar action.     

Hypersurfaces of the hyperbolic space with constant scalar curvature

We classify hypersurfaces of the hyperbolic space ?ⁿ⁺¹(c) with constant scalar curvature and with two distinct principal curvatures. Moreover, we prove that if Mⁿ is a complete hypersurfaces with constant scalar curvature n(n ? 1) R and with two distinct principal curvatures such that the multiplicity of one of the principal curvatures is n? 1, then R ≥ c. Additionally, we prove two rigidity theorems for such hypersurfaces.     

Curvature surfaces of Hopf hypersurfaces in complex space forms

We study the principal curvatures of a Hopf hypersurfaceM in ℂP ⁿ or ℂH ⁿ . The respective eigenspaces of the shape operator often turn out to induce totally real foliations ofM, whose leaves are spherical in the ambient space. Finally we classify the Hopf hypersurfaces with three distinct principal curvatures satisfying a certain non-degeneracy condition.     

Real hypersurfaces with constant principal curvatures in complex space forms

We present the motivation and current state of the classification problem of real hypersurfaces with constant principal curvatures in complex space forms. In particular, we explain the classification result of real hypersurfaces with constant principal curvatures in nonflat complex space forms and whose Hopf vector field has nontrivial projection onto two eigenspaces of the shape operator. This constitutes the following natural step after Kimura and Berndt?s classifications of Hopf real hypersurfaces with constant principal curvatures in complex space forms.     

Conformal isoparametric hypersurfaces with two distinct conformal principal curvatures in conformal space

The conformal geometry of regular hypersurfaces in the conformal space is studied.We classify all the conformal isoparametric hypersurfaces with two distinct conformal principal curvatures in the conformal space up to conformal equivalence.     

Real hypersurfaces of a complex projective space

In this paper, we classify real hypersurfaces in the complex projective space C P^\fracn+12C P^{\frac{n+1}{2}} whose structure vector field is a φ-analytic vector field (a notion similar to analytic vector fields on complex manifolds). We also define Jacobi-type vector fields on a Riemannian manifold and classify real hypersurfaces whose structure vector field is a Jacobi-type vector field.     

Real hypersurfaces with constant principal curvatures in the complex hyperbolic plane

We classify real hypersurfaces with constant principal curvatures in the complex hyperbolic plane. It follows from this classification that all of them are open parts of homogeneous ones.

     

The Nullity of a Compact Minimal Real Hypersurface in a Quaternion Projective Space

We will prove that the nullities of compact minimal real hypersurfaces in a quaternion projective space B Pn are bounded from below by 4n, and those with nullity 4n must be minimal geodesic hyperspheres.     

On spacelike hypersurfaces with constant scalar curvature in the anti-de Sitter space

In this paper, we classify complete spacelike hypersurfaces in the anti-de Sitter space (n?3) with constant scalar curvature and with two principal curvatures. Moreover, we prove that if Mn is a complete spacelike hypersurface with constant scalar curvature n(n−1)R and with two distinct principal curvatures such that the multiplicity of one of the principal curvatures is n−1, then R<(n−2)c/n. Additionally, we also obtain several rigidity theorems for such hypersurfaces.     

On the structure Jacobi operator of a real hypersurface in complex projective space

We prove the non-existence of a certain family of real hypersurfaces in complex projective space. From this result we classify real hypersurfaces whose structure Jacobi operator satisfies a condition that generalizes parallelness.     

Real hypersurfaces in a complex projective space with pseudo-$$ \mathbb{D} $$-parallel structure Jacobi operator

We introduce the new notion of pseudo-$ \mathbb{D} $ \mathbb{D} -parallel real hypersurfaces in a complex projective space as real hypersurfaces satisfying a condition about the covariant derivative of the structure Jacobi operator in any direction of the maximal holomorphic distribution. This condition generalizes parallelness of the structure Jacobi operator. We classify this type of real hypersurfaces.     

On the Riemannian curvature tensor of a real hypersurface in a complex projective space

We consider real hypersurfaces M in complex projective space equipped with both the Levi–Civita and generalized Tanaka–Webster connections and classify them when the covariant derivatives associated with both connections, either in the direction of the structure vector field or any direction of the maximal holomorphic distribution, coincide when applying to the Riemannian curvature tensor of the real hypersurface.     

On Lagrangian submanifolds in complex hyperquadrics and isoparametric hypersurfaces in spheres

The n-dimensional complex hyperquadric is a compact complex algebraic hypersurface defined by the quadratic equation in the (n+1)-dimensional complex projective space, which is isometric to the real Grassmann manifold of oriented 2-planes and is a compact Hermitian symmetric space of rank 2. In this paper, we study geometry of compact Lagrangian submanifolds in complex hyperquadrics from the viewpoint of the theory of isoparametric hypersurfaces in spheres. From this viewpoint we provide a classification theorem of compact homogeneous Lagrangian submanifolds in complex hyperquadrics by using the moment map technique. Moreover we determine the Hamiltonian stability of compact minimal Lagrangian submanifolds embedded in complex hyperquadrics which are obtained as Gauss images of isoparametric hypersurfaces in spheres with g(=  1, 2, 3) distinct principal curvatures.

On hypersurfaces with two distinct principal curvatures in space forms

We investigate the immersed hypersurfaces in space forms ℕ ^n + 1(c), n ≥ 4 with two distinct non-simple principal curvatures without the assumption that the (high order) mean curvature is constant. We prove that any immersed hypersurface in space forms with two distinct non-simple principal curvatures is locally conformal to the Riemannian product of two constant curved manifolds. We also obtain some characterizations for the Clifford hypersurfaces in terms of the trace free part of the second fundamental form.     

On spacelike hypersurfaces with constant scalar curvature in the de Sitter space

We classify spacelike hypersurfaces of the de Sitter space with constant scalar curvature and with two principal curvatures. Moreover, we prove that if Mn is a complete spacelike hypersurface with constant scalar curvature n(n−1)R and with two distinct principal curvatures such that the multiplicity of one of the principal curvatures is n−1, then R<(n−2)c/n. Additionally, we prove several rigidity theorems for such hypersurfaces.     

Curvatures properties of Lie hypersurfaces in the complex hyperbolic space

A Lie hypersurface in the complex hyperbolic space is a homogeneous real hypersurface without focal submanifolds. The set of all Lie hypersurfaces in the complex hyperbolic space is bijective to a closed interval, which gives a deformation of homogeneous hypersurfaces from the ruled minimal one to the horosphere. In this paper, we study intrinsic geometry of Lie hypersurfaces, such as Ricci curvatures, scalar curvatures, and sectional curvatures.

Cylindrical estimates for mean curvature flow of hypersurfaces in CROSSes

We consider the mean curvature flow of a closed hypersurface in the complex or quaternionic projective space. Under a suitable pinching assumption on the initial data, we prove apriori estimates on the principal curvatures which imply that the asymptotic profile near a singularity is either strictly convex or cylindrical. This result generalizes to a large class of symmetric ambient spaces the estimates obtained in the previous works on the mean curvature flow of hypersurfaces in Euclidean space and in the sphere.

Fundamental properties of real lightlike hypersurfaces of an indefinite quaternion Kaehler manifold are investigated. We prove the non existence of real lightlike hypersurfaces in indefinite qaternionic space form under some conditions. Received 31 October 2000; revised 20 June 2001.     

ISOPARAMETRIC HYPERSURFACES IN CP~n WITH CONSTANT PRINCIPAL CURVATURES

This paper proves that the number of distinct principal curvatures of a realisoparametric hypersurface in CP~n with constant principal curvatures can be only 2, 3 or 5.The prehnage of such hypersurface under the Hopf fibration is an isoparametrichypersarface in S~(2n+l) with 2 or 4 distinct principal curvatures. For real isoparametrichypersurfaces in CP~n with 5 distinct constant principal curvatures a local structuretheorem is given.
