Isoparametric hypersurfaces in complex hyperbolic spaces. (English) Zbl 1372.53056

An isoparametric hypersurface of a Riemannian manifold is a hypersurface such that all its sufficiently close parallel hypersurfaces have constant mean curvature.
In [Torino Atti 54, 974–979 (1918; JFM 47.0700.05)], C. Somigliana studied isoparametric surfaces of the 3-dimensional Euclidean space in relation to a problem of geometric optics.
In [Atti Accad. Naz. Lincei, Rend., VI. Ser. 27, 203–207 (1938; Zbl 0019.18403)], B. Segre generalized this study classifying isoparametric hypersurfaces in any Euclidian space.
E. Cartan studied this problem in real space forms where he derived a classification in real hyperbolic spaces [Ann. Mat. Pura Appl. (4) 17, 177–191 (1938; Zbl 0020.06505)] and in spheres [Math. Z. 45, 335–367 (1939; Zbl 0021.15603)].
In the paper under review, the authors continue the study started by the authors mentioned above and give a classification of isoparametric hypersurfaces in complex hyperbolic spaces.
