\(O(2)\times O(2)\)-invariant hypersurfaces with zero scalar curvature (Q1977802)

Equivariant geometry has been applied by several authors to obtain and classify explicit examples of hypersurfaces with a given condition and which are also invariant under the action of a given isometry group. In this paper the author uses equivariant geometry methods to study and classify zero scalar curvature \(O (2) \times O (2)\)-invariant hypersurfaces in the Euclidean space \(\mathbb{R}^4\), obtaining seven classes. Only three of these classes are complete hypersurfaces, namely cylinders (hypersurfaces of the form \(\mathbb{R} ^2\times S^1\)) and two classes that he calls \(O(2)\times O(2)\)-catenoids. The author uses the same method as \textit{H. Alencar} [Trans. Am. Math. Soc. 337, 129-141 (1993; Zbl 0776.53035)], translating the study of hypersurfaces with zero scalar curvature into the study of the singularities of a vector field.
