Abstract

We classify the hypersurfaces of Q3×R\mathbb{Q}^3\times\mathbb{R} with three distinct constant principal curvatures, where ε{1,1}\varepsilon \in \{1,-1\} and Q3\mathbb{Q}^3 denotes the unit sphere S3\mathbb{S}^3 if ε=1\varepsilon = 1, whereas it denotes the hyperbolic space H3\mathbb{H}^3 if ε=1\varepsilon = -1. We show that they are cylinders over isoparametric surfaces in Q3\mathbb{Q}^3, filling an intriguing gap in the existing literature. We also prove that the hypersurfaces with constant principal curvatures of Q3×R\mathbb{Q}^3\times\mathbb{R} are isoparametric. Furthermore, we provide the complete classification of the extrinsically homogeneous hypersurfaces in Q3×R\mathbb{Q}^3\times\mathbb{R}.
