Die Existenzbedingungen für eine nabelpunktige Hyperfläche \[ X^i = X^i (x^{\dot1}, x^{\dot2}, \ldots, x^{\dot n-\dot1})\quad \text{lauten}\quad C_{ijkl}X^i_{\cdot\,a}X^j_{\cdot\,b}X^k_{\cdot\,c}N^l = 0, \] wo \(X^i_{\cdot\,a} = \dfrac{\partial X^i}{\partial x^a}\), \(N^l\) der Normaleneinheitsvektor der Hyperfläche, \(C_{ijkl}\) der Konformkrümmungstensor von Weyl ist. Hieraus folgt der Satz von \textit{Schouten} unmittelbar (Math. Z. 11 (1921), 58-88; F. d. M. 48, 857 (JFM 48.0857.*)).
