Starting from indefinite inner products on \(\mathbb{C}^{n+1}\) one can construct the structure of a geodesically complete complex semi-Riemannian manifold of constant holomorphic curvature \(c\neq 0\) and of index \(2s\) on suitable open subsets of \(\mathbb{C} P^n\) (a procedure which is known from the construction of the projective space itself with the Fubini-study metric or of the complex hyperbolic space); these spaces are called the indefinite complex space forms \(\overline M^n_s(c)\). In several papers complex submanifolds of \(\overline M_s^n(c)\) were investigated, for instance by \textit{S. Montiel} and the author [Math. Proc. Camb. Philos. Soc. 94, 495-508 (1983; Zbl 0536.53024)], the author [Math. Z. 192, 627-635 (1986; Zbl 0579.53019)] and [Manuscr. math. 59, 261-276 (1987; Zbl 0617.53055)]. \textit{R. Aiyama}, \textit{T. Ikawa}, \textit{J.-H. Kwon}, and \textit{H. Nakagawa} [Tokyo J. Math. 10, 349-361 (1987; Zbl 0637.53027)] \textit{R. Aiyama}, \textit{J.-H. Kwon}, and \textit{H. Nakagawa} [J. Ramanujan Math. Soc. 2, No. 1, 43-67 (1987; Zbl 0668.53037)], and \textit{T. Ikawa}, \textit{H. Nakagawa}, and the author [Rocky Mt. J. Math. 18, No. 3, 601-615 (1988; Zbl 0666.53033)]. In the two articles under review there is given a survey on the subject with some improvements of known results and a different approach to some problems. The first paper under review concentrates on complex Einstein hypersurfaces of \(\overline M_s^n(c)\). In the second paper (see the following, Zbl 0961.53032) a complex Bernstein property, rididity of complex submanifolds, indefinite Segre embeddings and complex product submanifolds are treated. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0927.00034].
