Abstract
The purpose of the present paper is to survey and to show some new results with respect to characterizations of real hypersurfaces of CP
n1 Introduction
Let CP
n, n 2, be an n-dimensional complex projective space with Fubini-Study metric of constant holomorphic sectional curvature 4, and let M be a real hypersurface of CP
n.Let n be a unit normal vector field on M and x Jn, where J denotes the complex structure of CP
n. M has an almost contact metric structure f, x, h, g induced from J.Many differential geometers have studied M cf. 1 , 2 , 3 , 6 , 7 , 13 , 14 , 15 , 18 , 22 and 25 by using the structure f, x, h, g
Typical examples of real hypersurfacces in CP
nare homogeneous ones.T 6@6<> 25 showed that all homogeneous real hypersurfaces in CP
nare realized as the tubes of constant radius over compact Hermitian symmetric spaces of rank 1 or rank 2.Namely, he showed the following : Let M be a homogeneous real hypersurface of CP
n.Then M is a tube of radius r over one of the following Kaehler submanifolds :
A
1hyperplane CP
n1, where 0 r p 2 ,
A
2totally geodesic CP
k1 k n 2 , where 0 r p 2 , B complex quadric Q
n1, where 0 r p
4 , C CP
1CP
2n1
, where 0 r p
4 and n 5 is odd, D complex Grassmann CG
2,5, where 0 r p
4 and n 9, E Hermitian symmetric space SO 10 /U 5 , where 0 r p
4 and n 15.
Due to his classification, we find that the number of distinct constant principal curvatures of a homogeneous real hypersurface is 2, 3 or 5.Here note that the vector x of any homogeneous real hypersurface M which is a tube of radius r is a principal curvature vector with principal curvature a 2 cot 2r with multiplicity 1 See 1 and that in the case of type A
1M has two distinct principal curvatures, in the case of type A
2resp.B M has three distinct principal curvatures t, 1
t and a t 1
t ῌ ῍
῎ resp. 1 t 1 t , t 1
t 1 and a t 1 t

ῑ and in the case of C, D, E, M has five distinct principal curvatures t, 1
t , 1 t 1 t , t 1

2 Preliminaries
Let X be a tangent vector field on M. We write JX fX h X n, where fX is the tangent component of JX and h X g X, x As J
2Id, where Id denotes the identity endomorphism on TCP
n, we get
1 f
2X X h X x, h fX 0, fx 0
for any X tangent to M. It is also easy to see that for any X and Y tangent to M

XxfAX,
where denotes the convariant differentiation on M. Finally, from the expression of the curvature tensor of CP
n, we see that the curvature tensor R, Codazzi equation and the Ricci tensor of M are given by

Theorem 8 G DID= 2 A real hypersurface M of CP

Next, we introduce with respect to recurrent hypersurfaces :
Theorem 9 H 6B696 3 There exist no real hypersurfaces which satisfy
XA Y a X AY for a 1 -form a we call a recurrent hypersurface such a hapersurface and have the structure vectors x being principal vectors.
Theorem 10 H 6B696 3 A real hypersurface M of CP

1, A
2or a ruled real hypersurface.
Moreover, we introduce with respect to birecurrent hypersurfaces :
Theorem 12 N 6@6?>B6 20 There exist no real hypersurfaces which satisfy
2X,YA Z
X YA Z
xYA Z a X, Y AZ for a 2-form a we call a birecurrent hypersurface such a hypersurface

g fY, Z g fAX, Z g fY, W , X, Y, Z and W x
and has the structure vector x which is a principal
vector if and only if M is locally congruent to A
1or A

Finally of this section, we borrow from the way of G DID= 2 :
Theorem 14 M 6IHJN6B6 16 A real hypersurface M of CP

Hence we obtain the following:
Theorem 18 A real hypersurface M of CP
nsatisfies
2X,YA Z c g fY, Z fX g fX, Z fY , X, Y and Z x
if and only if M is locally congruent to A
1.
Proof. From the assumption we have R X, Y A Z 0, X, Y and Z x
. By Theorem 8 we obtain the conclusion.
Theorem 19 A real hypersurface M of CP

2X,YA Z, W g fAX, W g fY, Z g fAX, Z g fY, W , X, Y, Z and W x

1or A
2.
Proof. In terms of the assumption we get g R X, Y A Z, W 0, X, Y, Z and W x
. From Theorem 17 we have the result.
Similarly, we obtain :
Theorem 20 A real hypersurface M of CP
nsatisfies
2X,YA Z g fY, Z fAX g fAX, Z fY, X, Y and Z x
if and only if M is locally congruent to A
