Curvature homogeneous hypersurfaces in space forms

Abstract

We classify curvature homogeneous hypersurfaces in S^4 and H^4. In higher dimesnsion one only has the FKM examples and an isolate one by Tsukada of a hypersurface in H^5. Besides some simple examples, we show that there exists an isolated hypersurface with a circle of symmetries and and a one parameter family admitting no continuous symmetries. Outside the set of minimal points, which only exists in the case of S^4, every example is locally and up to covers of this form.
