Isoparametric hypersurfaces with four principal curvatures. IV (Q2188428)

In this nice and well-written paper, the author completes the classification of isoparametric hypersurfaces in spheres initiated by E. Cartan. He shows that an isoparametric hypersurface with four principal curvatures and multiplicity pair \((7,8)\) is either the one constructed by \textit{H. Ozeki} and \textit{M. Takeuchi} [Tohoku Math. J. (2) 27, 515--559 (1975; Zbl 0359.53011)], or one of the two constructed by \textit{D. Ferus} et al. [Math. Z. 177, 479--502 (1981; Zbl 0443.53037)]. For Part I, see [\textit{T. E. Cecil} et al., Ann. Math. (2) 166, No. 1, 1--76 (2007; Zbl 1143.53058)], for Part II, see [the author, Nagoya Math. J. 204, 1--18 (2011; Zbl 1243.53094)] and for Part III, see [the author, Nagoya Math. J. 204, 1--18 (2011; Zbl 1243.53094)].
