Abstract

We introduce the notion of Killing shape operator for real hypersurfaces in the complex quadric \(Q^m = SO_{m+2}/SO_mSO_2\). The Killing shape operator condition implies that the unit normal vector field N becomes \(\mathfrak {A}\)-principal or \(\mathfrak {A}\)-isotropic. Then according to each case, we give a complete classification of Hopf real hypersurfaces in \(Q^m = SO_{m+2}/SO_mSO_2\) with Killing shape operator.
