Abstract

We define a complex connection on a real hypersurface of ℂn+1 which is naturally inherited from the ambient space. Using a system of Codazzi-type equations, we classify connected real hypersurfaces in ℂn+1, n ≧ 2, which are Levi umbilical and have non zero constant Levi curvature. It turns out that such surfaces are contained either in a sphere or in the boundary of a complex tube domain with spherical section.
