The purpose of this article is to classify the real hypersurfaces in complex space forms of dimension 2 that are both Levi-flat and minimal. The main results are as follows: When the curvature of the complex space form is nonzero, there is a 1-parameter family of such hypersurfaces. Specifically, for each one-parameter subgroup of the isometry group of the complex space form, there is an essent...

— We study compact complex surfaces which are degenerations of blown-up Hopf surfaces. We prove that if such a surface S contains a strictly pseudoconvex global real hypersurface, then S is a Kato surface. This allows to improve a result by Dloussky, published in this journal in 1993.

The objective of this paper is to show how the recently proposed method by Giusti, Heintz, Morais, Morgenstern, Pardo [10] can be applied to a case of real polynomial equation solving. Our main result concerns the problem of finding one representative point for each connected component of a real bounded smooth hypersurface. The algorithm in [10] yields a method for symbolically solving a zero-d...

We show that biholomorphic automorphisms of a real analytic hypersurface in I C can be considered as (pointwise) Lie symmetries of a holomorphic completely overdetermined involutive second order PDE system defining its Segre family. Using the classical S.Lie method we obtain a complete description of infinitesimal symmetries of such a system and give a new proof of some well known results of CR...

Eastwood and Ezhov generalized the Cayley surface to the Cayley hypersurface in each dimension, proved some characteristic properties of the Cayley hypersurface and conjectured that a homogeneous hypersurface in affine space satisfying these properties must be the Cayley hypersurface. We will prove this conjecture when the domain bounded by a graph of a function defined on Rn is also homogeneou...

Let M be a compact (two-sided) minimal hypersurface in a Riemannian manifold M n+1 . It is a simple fact that if M has positive Ricci curvature then M cannot be stable (i. e. its Jacobi operator L has index at least one). If M = S(1) is the unit sphere and L has index one, then it is known that M must be a totally geodesic equator. We prove that if M is the real projective space RP = Sn+1(1)/{±...

Let M be a real hypersurface of a complex space form with almost contact metric structure (φ, ξ, η, g). In this paper, we study real hypersurfaces in a complex space form whose structure Jacobi operator Rξ = R(·, ξ)ξ is ξ-parallel. In particular, we prove that the condition ∇ξRξ = 0 characterizes the homogeneous real hypersurfaces of type A in a complex projective space or a complex hyperbolic ...
