Abstract

Let M be a complete and orientable hypersurface of an odd-dimensional sphere $S^{2n+1}$ with quasi-integrable $(f,\;g,\;u,\;{\nu},\;{\lambda})$ -structure. The purpose of the present paper is to prove the following two theorems. (I) If the scalar curvature of M is constant and the function $\lambda$ is not locally constant, then M is a great sphere $S^{2n}$(1) or a product of two spheres with the same dimension $S^{n}(1/\sqrt{2}){\times}S^{n}(1/\sqrt{2})$. (II) Suppose that the sectional curvature of the section $\gamma(u,\;{\nu})$ spanned by u and $\nu$ is constant on M and M is compact. If the second fundamental tensor H of M is positive semi-definite and satisfies trace $$^{t}HH{\leq_-}{2n}$$, then M is a great sphere $S^{2n}$ (1) or a product of two spheres $S^{n}{\times}S^{n}$ or $S^{p}{\times}S^{2n-p}$, p being odd.
