Canonical centroaffine hypersurfaces in \({\mathbb{R}{}}^{n+1}\) (Q1190283)

The authors consider a centroaffine hypersurface in real affine space, which means a nondegenerate hypersurface \(M\) with centroaffine normalization. They assume the hypersurface to satisfy two conditions: (i) the centroaffine metric \(G\) is flat; (ii) the centroaffine cubic form is parallel with respect to the Levi-Civita connection of \(G\). The authors reduce the differential geometric classification problem to an algebraic classification problem of \(n\) mutually commutative selfadjoint operators with respect to an inner product; here \(n=\dim M\). Their method allows to give a partial classification and to construct families of examples.
