Abstract:
Let $M$ be a real hypersurface in ${P^n}({\mathbf {C}})$ be the complex structure and $\xi$ denote a unit normal vector field on $M$. We show that $M$ is (an open subset of) a homogeneous hypersurface if and only if $M$ has constant principal curvatures and $J\xi$ is principal. We also obtain a characterization of certain complex submanifolds in a complex projective space. Specifically, ${P^m}({\mathbf {C}})$ (totally geodesic), ${Q^n},{P^1}({\mathbf {C}}) \times {P^n}({\mathbf {C}}),SU(5)/S(U(2) \times U(3))$ and $SO(10)/U(5)$ are the only complex submanifolds whose principal curvatures are constant in the sense that they depend neither on the point of the submanifold nor on the normal vector.References
