Dupin hypersurfaces with constant Laguerre curvatures

We consider proper Dupin hypersurfaces of the Euclidean space ℝn+1, that admit principal coordinate systems and have n distinct nonvanishing principal curvatures. We obtain explicitly all such hypersurfaces that have constant Laguerre curvatures. In particular, we show that they are determined by n−...

Description
Summary:We consider proper Dupin hypersurfaces of the Euclidean space ℝn+1, that admit principal coordinate systems and have n distinct nonvanishing principal curvatures. We obtain explicitly all such hypersurfaces that have constant Laguerre curvatures. In particular, we show that they are determined by n−2 Laguerre curvatures and two other constants, one of them being nonzero.
