Classes of hypersurfaces with vanishing Laplace invariants (Q2902028)

The authors consider curvature-line parametrized hypersurfaces \(M^n \subset \mathbb{R}^{n+1}\), \(n \geq 3\) with \(n\) distinct principal curvatures and vanishing Laplace invariants. If the lines of curvature are planar, then necessarily \(n = 3\) and the surfaces are Möbius equivalent to Dupin hypersurfaces of constant Möbius curvature. The same is true, if the principal curvatures are given as a sum of functions of separated variables.
