Abstract
Let M n be an n-dimensional submanifold without umbilical points in the (n + 1)-dimensional unit sphere S n+1. Four basic invariants of M n under the Moebius transformation group of S n+1 are a 1-form . called moebius form, a symmetric (0, 2) tensor A called Blaschke tensor, a symmetric (0, 2) tensor B called Moebius second fundamental form and a positive definite (0, 2) tensor g called Moebius metric. A symmetric (0, 2) tensor D = A + µB called para-Blaschke tensor, where µ is constant, is also an Moebius invariant. We call the para-Blaschke tensor is isotropic if there exists a function . such that D = .g. One of the basic questions in Moebius geometry is to classify the hypersurfaces with isotropic para-Blaschke tensor. When . is not constant, all hypersurfaces with isotropic para-Blaschke tensor are explicitly expressed in this paper.
