Affine complete locally convex hypersurfaces (Q5906974): Difference between revisions

In (unimodular) affine hypersurface theory there are several notions of completeness, namely (i) affine completeness (i.e. completeness of the Blaschke metric) and (ii) Euclidean completeness (i.e. completeness induced from some additional Euclidean structure on the ambient affine space); \textit{R. Schneider} [Math. Z. 101, 375--406 (1967; Zbl 0156.20101)] already stated that the latter notion is meaningful in affine hypersurface theory. Moreover, he gave an example of a locally strongly convex hypersurface which is Euclidean complete, but not affine complete. In the present paper, the authors state the following main result: A locally strongly convex, \(n\)-dimensional \((n\geq 2)\) hypersurface in affine space which is affine complete is Euclidean complete.
