The authors prove the following theorems:
Theorem 1. If \(W_n\) is a totally umbilical hypersurface of a recurrent Weyl space \(W_{n+1}\), then \(W_n\) is also conformally recurrent.
Theorem 2. Let a totally umbilical hypersurface \(W_n\) of a recurrent Weyl space \(W_{n+1}\) be conharmonically Ricci-recurrent \((n>2)\). If any net \((v_1,v_2,\dots, v_n)\) in \(W_n\) is a Chebyshev net of first kind with respect to \(W_{n+1}\), it is also a Chebyshev net of the first kind with respect to \(W_n\) and the converse is also true.
Theorem 3. Let a totally umbilical hypersurface \(W_n\) of a recurrent Weyl space \(W_{n+1}\) be conharmonically Ricci-recurrent \((n> 2)\). If any net \((v_1,v_2,\dots, v_n)\) in \(W_n\) is a Chebyshev net of the second kind with respect to \(W_{n+1}\), it is also a Chebyshev net of the second kind with respect to \(W_n\) and the converse is also true.
Theorem 4. Let a totally umbilical hypersurface \(W_n\) of a recurrent Weyl space \(W_{n+1}\) be conharmonically Ricci-recurrent \((n> 2)\). If any net \((v_1,v_2,\dots, v_n)\) in \(W_n\) is a geodesic net with respect to \(W_{n+1}\) it is also a geodesic net with respect to \(W_n\) and conversely.
