Abstract

Let M be a real hypersurface of a nonflat complex space form, that is, either a complex projective space or a complex hyperbolic space. On M we have the Levi-Civita connection and for any nonnull real number k the corresponding generalized Tanaka-Webster connection. Therefore on M we consider their associated covariant derivatives, the Lie derivative and, for any nonnull k, the so called Lie derivative associated to the generalized Tanaka-Webster connection and introduce some classifications of real hypersurfaces in terms of the concidence of some pairs of such derivations when they are applied to the shape operator of the real hypersurface, the structure Jacobi operator, the Ricci operator or the Riemannian curvature tensor of the real hypersurface.
