Abstract:
This paper proves that the number of distinct principal curvatures of a real isoparametric hypersurface in $\[C{P^n}\]$ with constant principal curvatures can be only 2, 3 or 5. The preimage of such hypersurface under the Hopf fibration is an isoparametric hypersurface in $\[{S^{2n + 1}}\]$ with 2 or 4 disinct principal curvatures. For real isopariametric hypersurfaces in $\[C{P^n}\]$ with 5 distinct constant principal curvatures a local structure
theorem is given.
