Let
Mm be an
m-dimensional submanifold without umbilical points in the
m+1-dimensional unit sphere
Sm+1. Three basic invariants of
Mm under the Möbius transformation group of
Sm+1 are a 1-form Φ called Möbius form, a symmetric (0,2) tensor
A called Blaschke tensor and a positive definite (0,2) tensor
g called Möbius metric. We call the Blaschke tensor is isotropic if there exists a function λ such that
A = λ
g. One of the basic questions in Möbius geometry is to classify the hypersurfaces with isotropic Blaschke tensor. When λ is constant, the classification was given by Changping Wang and others. When λ is not constant, all hypersurfaces with dimensional
m ≥ 3 and isotropic Blaschke tensor are explicitly expressed in this paper. Therefore, for the dimensional
m ≥ 3, the above basic question is completely answered.
