Commutativity of torsion and normal Jacobi operators on real hypersurfaces in the complex quadric

Authors: Juan de Dios Pérez

Abstract:

On a real hypersurface in the complex quadric we can consider the Levi-Civita connection and, for any non-zero real constant $k$, the $k$-th generalized Tanaka—Webster connection. Associated to this connection we can define a differential operator whose difference with the Lie derivative is the torsion operator of the $k$-th generalized Tanaka—Webster connection. We prove the non-existence of real hypersurfaces in the complex quadric for which the torsion operators commute with the normal Jacobi operator of the real hypersurface.

Keywords: complex quadric, real hypersurface, normal Jacobi operator, k-th generalized Tanaka—Webster connection, torsion operators
