On Pseudo-Einstein Real Hypersurfaces

Abstract

Let $M$ be a real hypersurface of a complex space form $M^n(c)$, $c\neq0$, $n\geq 3$. We show that the Ricci tensor $S$ of $M$ satisfies $S(X,Y)=ag(X,Y)$ for any vector fields $X$ and $Y$ on the holomorphic distribution, $a$ being a constant, if and only if $M$ is a pseudo-Einstein real hypersurface.
