On the Tchebychev Vector Field in the Relative Differential Geometry

Publication date 29 November 2015

Abstract: In this paper we deal with relative normalizations of hypersurfaces in the (n+1)-dimensional Euclidean space

m a t h b b R^{n + 1}

. Considering a relative normalization

of an hypersurface

P h i

we decompose the corresponding Tchebychev vector

in two components, one parallel to the Tchebychev vector

of the Euclidean normalization

and one parallel to the orthogonal projection

of

in the tangent hyperplane of

P h i

. We use this decomposition to investigate some properties of

P h i

, which concern its Gaussian curvature, the support function, the Tchebychev vector field etc.
