Hopf Hypersurfaces in pseudo-Riemannian complex and para-complex space   forms
  The study of real hypersurfaces in pseudo-Riemannian complex space forms and para-complex space forms, which are the pseudo-Riemannian generalizations of the complex space forms, is addressed. It is proved that there are no umbilic hypersurfaces, nor real hypersurfaces with parallel shape operator in such spaces. Denoting by $J$ be the complex or para-complex structure of a pseudo-complex or para-complex space form respectively, a non-degenerate hypersurface of such space with unit normal vector field $N$ is said to be \em Hopf \em if the tangent vector field $JN$ is a principal direction. It is proved that if a hypersurface is Hopf, then the corresponding principal curvature (the \em Hopf \em curvature) is constant. It is also observed that in some cases a Hopf hypersurface must be, locally, a tube over a complex (or para-complex) submanifold, thus generalizing previous results of Cecil, Ryan and Montiel.
