Isometric Reeb flow in complex hyperbolic quadrics

Abstract

We classify real hypersurfaces with isometric Reeb flow in the complex hyperbolic quadrics ${Q^*}^{m} = SO^{o}_{2,m}/SO_mSO_2$, $m \geq 3$. We show that $m$ is even, say $m = 2k$, and any such hypersurface becomes an open part of a tube around a $k$-dimensional complex hyperbolic space ${\mathbb C}H^k$ which is embedded canonically in ${Q^*}^{2k}$ as a totally geodesic complex submanifold or a horosphere whose center at infinity is $\frak A$-isotropic singular. As a consequence of the result, we get the non-existence of real hypersurfaces with isometric Reeb flow in odd-dimensional complex quadrics ${Q^*}^{2k+1}$, $k \geq 1$.
