Homogeneous and inhomogeneous isoparametric hypersurfaces in rank one symmetric spaces

We conclude the classification of cohomogeneity one actions on symmetric spaces of rank one by classifying cohomogeneity one actions on quaternionic hyperbolic spaces up to orbit equivalence. As a by-product of our proof, we produce uncountably many examples of inhomogeneous isoparametric families of hypersurfaces with constant principal curvatures in quaternionic hyperbolic spaces.

A Class of Special Hypersurfaces in Real Space Forms

We define the generalized golden- and product-shaped hypersurfaces in real space forms. A hypersurfaceMin real space formsRn+1,Sn+1, andHn+1is isoparametric if it has constant principal curvatures. Based on the classification of isoparametric hypersurfaces, we obtain the whole families of the generalized golden- and product-shaped hypersurfaces in real space forms.

HYPERSURFACES IN P2 AND H2 WITH TWO DISTINCT PRINCIPAL CURVATURES

It is known that hypersurfaces in ${\mathbb C}$Pn or ${\mathbb C}$Hn for which the number g of distinct principal curvatures satisfies g ≤ 2, must belong to a standard list of Hopf hypersurfaces with constant principal curvatures, provided that n ≥ 3. In this paper, we construct a two-parameter family of non-Hopf hypersurfaces in ${\mathbb C}$P2 and ${\mathbb C}$H2 with g=2 and show that every non-Hopf hypersurface with g=2 is locally of this form.
