Let M be an orientable connected and compact real hypersurface of the complex space form C(n + 1)/2. If the mean curvature
and the function f = g(A
,
) of hypersurface M satisfy the inequality n2
2
(n2 – 1)
+ f2, where
is the characteristic vector field, A is the shape operator and (n – 1)
is the infimum of the Ricci curvatures of hypersurface M, then it is shown that
is a constant and M is the sphere Sn(
2) in C(n + 1)/2.
