Classification of the Conformally Flat Centroaffine Hypersurfaces with Vanishing Centroaffine Shape Operator
摘要
Cheng-Hu-Moruz (2017) completely classified the locally strongly convex centroaffine hypersurfaces with parallel cubic form based on the Calabi product (called the type I Calabi product for short) proposed by Li-Wang (1991).
In the present paper, the authors introduce the type II Calabi product (in case λ1 = 2λ2), complementing the type I Calabi product (in case λ1 ≠ 2λ2), and achieve a classification of the locally strongly convex centroaffine hypersurfaces in ℝn+1 with vanishing centroaffine shape operator and Weyl curvature tensor by virtue of the types I and II Calabi product.
As a corollary, 3-dimensional complete locally strongly convex centroaffine hypersurfaces with vanishing centroaffine shape operator are completely classified, which positively answers the centroaffine Bernstein problems III and V by Li-Li-Simon (2004).
