Abstract
In the present note, we consider the introduced by Lidia Vasil’evna Stepanova notion of an -quasi-umbilical hypersurface in an almost Hermitian manifold. We show that the notion of an -quasi-umbilical hypersurface in an almost Hermitian manifold is connected with the notion of a minimal hypersurface in this manifold. Using the classical theory of minimal hypersurfaces in Riemannian manifolds and Kirichenko — Stepanova general theory of almost contact metric hypersurfaces in almost Hermitian manifolds, we establish that an -quasi-umbilical hypersurface of a nearly Kählerian manifold is minimal if and only if this hypersurface is totally umbilical. Taking into account the connection between the notions of a minimal hypersurface and of an -quasi-umbilical hypersurface in an almost Hermitian manifold, we conclude that some well-known results in the theory of almost contact metric hypersurfaces in almost Hermitian manifolds can be reformulated. The problem of the existence of a non-umbilical minimal -quasi-umbilical hypersurface of a quasi-Kählerian manifold is posed.
