Real hypersurfaces in complex two-plane Grassmannians (Q2901329)

The authors consider a real hypersurface \(M\) in the complex two-plane Grassmannian \(G_2(\mathbb{C}^{m+2})\) for which the shape operator \(A\) satisfies a commutative relation with structure tensors \(\varphi\) and \(\varphi_1\). They prove the following theorem: Let \(M\) be a connected real hypersurface in \(G_2(\mathbb{C}^{m+2})\), \(m\geq 3\). Then the shape operator \(A\) satisfies \(\varphi\varphi_1A= A\varphi_1\varphi\) if and only if \(M\) is an open part of a tube around a totally geodesic \(G_2(\mathbb{C}^{m+1})\) in \(G_2(\mathbb{C}^{m+2})\).
