Abstract: We consider non-degenerate graph immersions into affine space $mathbb{A}^{n+1}$ whose cubic form is parallel with respect to the Levi-Civita connection of the affine metric. There exists a correspondence between such graph immersions and pairs $(J,gamma)$, where $J$ is an $n$-dimensional real Jordan algebra and $gamma$ is a non-degenerate trace form on $J$. Every graph immersion with parallel cubic form can be extended to an affine complete symmetric space covering the maximal connected component of zero in the set of quasi-regular elements in the algebra $J$. It is an improper affine hypersphere if and only if the corresponding Jordan algebra is nilpotent. In this case it is an affine complete, Euclidean complete graph immersion, with a polynomial as globally defining function. We classify all such hyperspheres up to dimension 5. As a special case we describe a connection between Cayley hypersurfaces and polynomial quotient algebras. Our algebraic approach can be used to study also other classes of hypersurfaces with parallel cubic form.

Review text

A graph immersion \(f: M^n\to A^{n+1}\) of an \(n\)-dimensional manifold into \((n + 1)\)-dimensional affine space is an affine hypersurface immersion equipped with a parallel transversal vector field \(\xi\). On a simply connected affine chart there exists a scalar function \(F\) such that the immersion \(f\) is locally affinely equivalent to the graph immersion \(x\to (x, F(x))\) with transversal vector field \((0, 1)\). \(F\) is called a local representing function of the immersion \(f\). In this paper, the author consider non-degenerate graph immersions into an affine space \(A^{n+1}\) whose cubic form is parallel with respect to the Levi-Civita connection of the affine metric using real Jordan algebras etc. Some classification and related results are given.
