This article studies the conditions of pseudosymmetry and Ricci-pseudosymmetry, realizedon hypersurfaces of semi-Riemannian spaces of constant curvature. In particular, we derive extrinsic characterizations of pseudosymmetric and Ricci-pseudosymmetric hypersurfaces of semi-Riemannian spaces of constant curvature in terms of the shape operator. As an application, and in the Riemannian case, we extend a theorem by K. Nomizu on semisymmetric hypersurfaces of Euclidean spaces. © 1995, Birkhäuser Verlag, Basel. All rights reserved.
