On complex submanifolds whose Grassmann image has maximal holomorphic curvature (Q2473732)

For the sectional curvature of the Grassmann manifold, it has been proved that it can be of maximal or minimal value given certain conditions [see \textit{A. A. Borisenko} and \textit{Yu. A. Nikolaevskii}, Mat. Zametki 48, No. 3, 12--19 (1990; Zbl 0708.53005); \textit{Y. C. Wong}, Proc. Nat. Acad. Sci. USA 60, 75--79 (1968; Zbl 0169.23904)]. In this paper the author proves that if the holomorphic curvature of a complex Grassmann manifold in two-dimensional directions tangent to a nondegenerate Grassmann image of a nonsingular complex surface attains its maximal possible value along all directions, then the surface is a complex hypersurface.
