In Abdalla and Dillen (2002) an example of a non-semisymmetric Ricci-symmetric quasi-Einstein austere hypersurface dd1a4577c8554ebda3f855c797fd3c4e" title="Click to view the MathML source">M isometrically immersed in an Euclidean space was constructed. In this paper we state that, at every point of the hypersurface dd1a4577c8554ebda3f855c797fd3c4e" title="Click to view the MathML source">M, the following generalized Einstein metric curvature condition is satisfied: (∗) the difference tensor cdd6da4c6cc221e3302abdc9e0149" title="Click to view the MathML source">R⋅C−C⋅R and the Tachibana tensor Q(S,C) are linearly dependent. Precisely, on dd1a4577c8554ebda3f855c797fd3c4e" title="Click to view the MathML source">M. We also prove that non-conformally flat and non-Einstein hypersurfaces with vanishing scalar curvature having at every point two distinct principal curvatures, as well as some hypersurfaces having at every point three distinct principal curvatures, satisfy (∗). We present examples of hypersurfaces satisfying (∗).
