A characterization of ellipsoids

From MaRDI portal





It is proved that a (sufficiently smooth) closed convex hypersurface in \((n+1)\)-dimensional affine space must be an ellipsoid, if one of the elementary symmetric functions of the equiaffine principal curvatures is constant. Formerly this result was only known under the additional assumption, that the affine curvatures are everywhere positive.
