Abstract

We prove that the angle function associated with the canonical product structure is constant for an isoparametric hypersurface in Sn×Sm\mathbb{S}^{n}\times \mathbb{S}^{m}, Sn×Hm\mathbb{S}^{n}\times \mathbb{H}^{m}, or Hn×Hm\mathbb{H}^{n}\times \mathbb{H}^{m}. This rigidity result enables us to provide a complete classification of isoparametric and homogeneous hypersurfaces in Sn×Sm\mathbb{S}^{n}\times \mathbb{S}^{m} and Sn×Hm\mathbb{S}^{n}\times \mathbb{H}^{m}. Furthermore, we establish a geometric characterization in these two spaces: a hypersurface is isoparametric if and only if it has constant principal curvatures and a constant angle function.
