Abstract:
We show that if the holomorphic curvature of a complex Grassmann manifold in two-dimensional directions tangent to a nondegenerate Grassmann image of a nonsingular complex surface attains the maximal possible value along all directions, then the surface is a complex hypersurface.
Keywords:holomorphic curvature, Grassmann image of a complex surface, complex index of nullity, sectional curvature, normal curvature, normal connection, flat metric.
