A new characterization of type $(A)$ and ruled real hypersurfaces in nonflat complex space forms

Abstract

In this paper, we obtain an inequality involving the squared norm of the covariant differentiation of the shape operator for a real hypersurface in nonflat complex space forms. It is proved that the equality holds for non-Hopf case if and only if the hypersurface is ruled and the equality holds for Hopf case if and only if the hypersurface is of type $(A)$.

Keywords: Ruled real hypersurface, nonflat complex space, shape operator, norm
