Semi-parallel real hypersurfaces in complex two-plane Grassmannians

We prove that there does not exist any semi-parallel real hypersurface in complex two-plane Grassmannians. With this result, the nonexistence of recurrent real hypersurfaces in complex two-plane Grassmannians can also be proved.     

Biharmonic hypersurfaces in Sasakian space forms

We consider the Boothby–Wang fibration of a strictly regular Sasakian space form N and find the characterization of biharmonic Hopf cylinders over submanifolds of . Then, we determine all proper-biharmonic Hopf cylinders over homogeneous real hypersurfaces in complex projective spaces.     

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.     

Characterizations of some homogeneous Hopf real hypersurfaces in a nonflat complex space form by extrinsic shapes of trajectories

We characterize some homogeneous Hopf real hypersurfaces in a nonflat complex space form by studying trajectories for Sasakian magnetic fields whose extrinsic shapes are tangentially of order 2.     

Real hypersurfaces in complex space forms concerned with the local symmetry

This paper consists of two parts. In the first, we find some geometric conditions derived from the local symmetry of the inverse image by the Hopf fibration of a real hypersurface M in complex space form M _m(4ε). In the second, we give a complete classification of real hypersurfaces in M _m(4ε) which satisfy the above geometric facts.

Remarks on biharmonic hypersurfaces in space forms

We consider closed biharmonic hypersurfaces in a Euclidean sphere and prove a rigidity result under a suitable condition on the scalar curvature. Moreover, we establish an integral formula involving the position vector for biharmonic hypersurfaces in space forms. As an application of this formula, we reobtain a result concerning the closed biharmonic hypersurfaces in Euclidean spheres that lie in a closed hemisphere.

Real hypersurfaces with constant totally real bisectional curvature in complex space forms

In this paper we classify real hypersurfaces with constant totally real bisectional curvature in a non flat complex space form M _m (c), c ≠ 0 as those which have constant holomorphic sectional curvature given in [6] and [13] or constant totally real sectional curvature given in [11].     

Biharmonic hypersurfaces in 4‐dimensional space forms

We investigate proper biharmonic hypersurfaces with at most three distinct principal curvatures in space forms. We obtain the full classification of proper biharmonic hypersurfaces in 4‐dimensional space forms (© 2010 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)     

Homogeneous hypersurfaces in complex hyperbolic spaces

We study the geometry of homogeneous hypersurfaces and their focal sets in complex hyperbolic spaces. In particular, we provide a characterization of the focal set in terms of its second fundamental form and determine the principal curvatures of the homogeneous hypersurfaces together with their multiplicities.      

Ricci η‐recurrent real hypersurfaces in 2‐dimensional nonflat complex space forms

Let M be a Hopf hypersurface in a nonflat complex space form $M^2(c)$, $c\ne 0$, of complex dimension two. In this paper, we prove that M has η‐recurrent Ricci operator if and only if it is locally congruent to a homogeneous real hypersurface of type (A) or (B) or a non‐homogeneous real hypersurface with vanishing Hopf principal curvature. This is an extension of main results in [17, 21] for real hypersurfaces of dimension three. By means of this result, we give some new characterizations of Hopf hypersurfaces of type (A) and (B) which generalize those in [14, 18, 26].     

Reeb parallel Ricci tensor for homogeneous real hypersurfaces in complex hyperbolic two‐plane Grassmannians

In this paper, we introduce the notion of Reeb parallel Ricci tensor for homogeneous real hypersurfaces in complex hyperbolic two‐plane Grassmannians which has a remarkable geometric structure as a Hermitian symmetric space of rank 2. By using a new method of simultaneous diagonalizations, we give a complete classification for real hypersurfaces in complex hyperbolic two‐plane Grassmannians with the Reeb parallel Ricci tensor.     

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.     

On the complete linear Weingarten spacelike hypersurfaces with two distinct principal curvatures in Lorentzian space forms

We deal with complete linear Weingarten spacelike hypersurfaces immersed in a Lorentzian space form, having two distinct principal curvatures. In this setting, we show that such a spacelike hypersurface must be isometric to a certain isoparametric hypersurface of the ambient space, under suitable restrictions on the values of the mean curvature and of the norm of the traceless part of its second fundamental form. Our approach is based on the use of a Simons type formula related to an appropriated Cheng–Yau modified operator jointly with some generalized maximum principles.
