Locally symmetric complex affine hypersurfaces (Q1110101)

The author studies nondegenerate locally symmetric complex affine hypersurfaces \(M^ n\) of the complex affine space \(C^{n+1}\). Denote by \(\nabla\) the affine connection induced on \(M^ n\) by the complex affine structure on \(C^{n+1}\), and by R the curvature tensor of \(\nabla\). The main result is the following theorem: Let \(M^ n\) be a nondegenerate complex hypersurface of \(C^{n+1}\), \(n>2\). Then \(\nabla R=0\) if and only if \(M^ n\) is a part of a quadric or an improper affine hypersphere.
