CHARACTERIZATIONS OF REAL HYPERSURFACES OF TYPE A IN A COMPLEX SPACE FORM

Let M be a real hypersurface with almost contact metric structure $(\phi,g,\xi,\eta)$ in a complex space form $M_n(c)$, $c\neq0$. In this paper we prove that if $R_{\xi}L_{\xi}g=0$ holds on M, then M is a Hopf hypersurface in $M_n(c)$, where $R_{\xi}$ and $L_{\xi}$ denote the structure Jacobi operator and the operator of the Lie derivative with respect to the structure vector field $\xi$ respectively. We characterize such Hopf hypersurfaces of $M_n(c)$.
