Submanifolds of generalized Hopf manifolds, type numbers and the first Chern class of the normal bundle (Q1191373)

Let \(M\) be an orientable real hypersurface of a complex Hopf manifold, tangent to the Lee field. The authors prove that if the natural \(f\)- structure \(P\) on \(M\) anticommutes with the Weingarten operator, then the type number of \(M\) is less or equal than 1. Since \(M\) carries a natural metric almost contact structure due to Tashiro, they prove that \(M\) is foliated by globally conformal Kähler manifolds under the hypotheses that: the almost contact vector is eigenvector of the Weingarten operator corresponding to a nowhere vanishing eigenfunction, the holomorphic distribution is involutive and the type number satisfies some restrictions. The paper also contains several examples of submanifolds of locally conformal Kähler manifolds, a ``Simon's type'' formula and an application to compact real hypersurfaces with non-negative sectional curvature and parallel mean curvature vector. Finally, the authors study compact complex submanifolds \(\widetilde M\) of a generalized Hopf manifold proving that the first Chern class of the normal bundle of \(\widetilde M\) vanishes if the normal connection is flat.
