We give characterizations of locally symmetric spaces M via the structural operator $h={\frac{1}{2}{\mathcal{L}}_{\xi}{\phi}}$ or the characteristic Jacobi operator ℓ = R(·, ξ)ξ on the unit tangent sphere bundles T1M.

The shape operator or second fundamental tensor of a real hypersurface in $M_n(c)$ will be denoted by A, and the induced almost contact metric structure of the real hypersurface by (${\phi}$, <, >,${\xi}$, ${\eta}$). The purpose of this paper is to prove that is no ruled real hypersurface M in a complex space form $M_n(c)$, $c{\neq}0$, $n{\geq}3$, who satisfies $R_{\xi}{\phi}={\phi}R_{\xi}$ on M.

For unit tangent sphere bundles $T_1M$ with the standard contact metric structure (${\eta},\bar{g},{\phi},{\xi}$), we have two fundamental operators that is, $h=\frac{1}{2}{\pounds}_{\xi}{\phi}$ and ${\ell}=\bar{R}({\cdot},{\xi}){\xi}$, where ${\pounds}_{\xi}$ denotes Lie differentiation for the Reeb vector field ${\xi}$ and $\bar{R}$ denotes the Riemmannian curvature tensor of $T_1M$. In this paper, we study the Reeb ow invariancy of the corresponding (0, 2)-tensor fields H and L of h and ${\ell}$, respectively.
