Review text

[For the entire collection see Zbl 0747.00054.] The authors give a beautiful solution to the global existence problem of vertices on ovaloids in Euclidean 3-space, using affine differential geometry. A vertex is a point with stationary second fundamental form. They produce real holomorphic ovaloids without any vertex by affinely transforming rotational ovaloids whose Pick invariant vanishes exactly at the poles.
