Lorentzian affine hypersurfaces with an almost symplectic form (Q2360625)

The paper considers affine hypersurfaces equipped with an almost symplectic structure \(\omega\) which satisfies some parallelism condition with respect to the affine connection \(\nabla\) determined by a transversal equiaffine vector field. In a previous paper, the author proved that for even-dimensional hypersurfaces with positive definite second fundamental form, the condition \(\nabla^k\omega=0\) or \(R^k\omega=0\), for some positive integer \(k\), where \(R\) denotes the curvature tensor of \(\nabla\), implies that \(\nabla\) is flat. In the present paper, the author considers even-dimensional hypersurfaces with Lorentzian second fundamental form. He proves that if \(\nabla^k\omega=0\) or \(R^k\omega=0\), then the shape operator \(S\) must have a very special form. In particular, the rank of \(S\) must be at most 1 if the dimension of the hypersurface is at least 6.
