Abstract
An odd-dimensional sphere admits a killing vector field, induced by the transform of the unit normal by the complex structure of the ambiant Euclidean space. In this paper, we study orientable hypersurfaces in a Euclidean space those admit a unit Killing vector field and find two characterizations of odd-dimensional spheres. In first result, we show that a complete and simply connected hypersurface of Euclidean space Rn+1, n>1 admits a unit Killing vector field ξ that leaves the shape operator S invariant and has sectional curvatures of plane sections containing ξ positive satisfies S(ξ)=αξ, α mean curvature if and only if n=2m−1, α is constant and the hypersurfaces is isometric to the sphere S2m−1(α2). Similarly, we find another characterization of unit sphere S2(α2) using the smooth function σ=g(S(ξ),ξ) on the hypersurface.
