A note on the type number of real hypersurfaces in P_n(C)
Let \(M\) be a real hypersurface of the complex projective space \(P_n(\mathbb{C})\) equipped with the Fubini Study metric. The type number of \(M\) is the rank of its second fundamental form. It was shown by \textit{Y. J. Suh} [Tsukuba J. Math. 15, 99-104 (1991; Zbl 0736.32016)] that the type number of \(M\) is \(\geq 3\) at each point if \(M\) is complete and \(n\geq 3\). In the present paper, the authors improve this result by showing that the type number of \(M\) is \(\geq 4\) at each point if \(M\) is complete and \(n\geq 4\). Examples are known of non-complete real hypersurfaces in \(P_n(\mathbb{C})\) with type number equal to two at each point.
