Summary:
First we prove a general algebraic lemma. By applying the algebraic lemma we establish a general inequality involving the Ricci curvature of an arbitrary real hypersurface in a complex hyperbolic space. We also classify real hypersurfaces with constant principal curvatures which satisfy the equality case of the inequality.
