    As the attempt to classify centroaffine surfaces with constant Gauss curvature failed due to the abundance of solutions, the authors restrict to translation surfaces in \(\mathbb R^3\). In this paper they explicitly classify the centroaffine translation surfaces a) with constant Gauss curvature \(K\), b) with constant Pick invariant \(J\) and c) with constant \(K-J\) or-equivalently-constant absolute value of the Tchebycheff vector field \(T\).
