Abstract:
Let be an isoparametric hypersurface in , and the inverse image of under the Hopf map. By using the relationship between the eigenvalues of the shape operators of and , we prove that is homogeneous if and only if either or is constant, where is the number of distinct principal curvatures of and is the number of non-horizontal eigenspaces of the shape operator on .
