ABSTRACT

The almost contact metric structure that we have on a real hypersurface M in the complex quadric Qm = SOm+2/SOmSO2 allows us to define, for any nonnull real number k, the k-th generalized Tanaka-Webster connection on M, ^(k) . Associated to this connection, we have Cho and torsion operators FX(k) and TX(k) , respectively, for any vector field X tangent to M. From them and for any symmetric operator B on M, we can consider two tensor fields of type (1,2) on M that we denote by BF(k) and BT(k) , respectively. We classify real hypersurfaces M in Qm for which any of those tensors identically vanishes, in the particular case of B being the structure Lie operator Lξ on M.
