Isoparametric hypersurfaces in complex hyperbolic spaces (Q2357484)

An isoparametric hypersurface of a Riemannian manifold is a hypersurface such that all its sufficiently close parallel hypersurfaces have constant mean curvature. In [Torino Atti 54, 974--979 (1918; JFM 47.0700.05)], \textit{C. Somigliana} studied isoparametric surfaces of the 3-dimensional Euclidean space in relation to a problem of geometric optics. In [Atti Accad. Naz. Lincei, Rend., VI. Ser. 27, 203--207 (1938; Zbl 0019.18403)], \textit{B. Segre} generalized this study classifying isoparametric hypersurfaces in any Euclidian space. \textit{E. Cartan} studied this problem in real space forms where he derived a classification in real hyperbolic spaces [Ann. Mat. Pura Appl. (4) 17, 177--191 (1938; Zbl 0020.06505)] and in spheres [Math. Z. 45, 335--367 (1939; Zbl 0021.15603)]. In the paper under review, the authors continue the study started by the authors mentioned above and give a classification of isoparametric hypersurfaces in complex hyperbolic spaces.
