On real hypersurfaces of a complex projective space. III (Q1207792)

In this article the authors continue their work on real hypersurfaces in complex projective spaces [part I, see Math. Z. 202, 299-311 (1989; Zbl 0661.53015), part II, see Tsukuba J. Math. 15, 547-561 (1991; Zbl 0762.53039)]. The main purpose of this paper is to provide sufficient and necessary conditions for a real hypersurface \(M\) of a complex projective space \(P_ n(\mathbb{C})\) to be locally a geodesic hypersphere of \(P_ n(\mathbb{C})\). These conditions consist of certain relations which must be satisfied by the covariant derivative of the Ricci tensor of \(M\) or by the curvature operator of \(M\) acting on the Ricci tensor or the shape operator of \(M\) as a derivation.
