Quasi-Einstein Hypersurfaces of Complex Space Forms

Abstract

Based on a well-known fact that there are no Einstein hypersurfaces in a nonflat complex space form, in this article, we study the quasi-Einstein condition, which is a generalization of an Einstein metric, on the real hypersurface of a nonflat complex space form. For the real hypersurface with quasi-Einstein metric of a complex Euclidean space, we also give a classification. Since a gradient Ricci soliton is a special quasi-Einstein metric, our results improve some conclusions of Cho and Kimura.
