Abstract. We classify real hypersurfaces with isometric Reeb flow in the complex quadrics Q m = SO m+2 /SO m SO 2 , m ≥ 3. We show that m is even, say m = 2k, and any such hypersurface is an open part of a tube around a k-dimensional complex projective space CP k which is embedded canonically in Q 2k as a totally geodesic complex submanifold. As a consequence we get the non-existence of real hypersurfaces with isometric Reeb flow in odd-dimensional complex quadrics Q 2k+1 , k ≥ 1. To our knowledge the odd-dimensional complex quadrics are the first examples of homogeneous Kähler manifolds which do not admit a real hypersurface with isometric Reeb flow.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
