Classification of five dimensional hypersurfaces with affine normal parallel cubic form.
We give a necessary and sufficient condition for a Codazzi structure to be realized as a minimal affine hypersurface or a minimal centroaffine immersion of codimension two.
We study complex affine surfaces in ℂ⁴ with the transversal bundle defined by Nomizu and Vrancken. We classify the surfaces that have recurrent shape operators and parallel transversal metric.
After having given the general variational formula for the functionals indicated in the title, the critical points of the integral of the equi-affine curvature under area constraint and the critical points of the full-affine arc-length are studied in greater detail. Notice. An extended version of this article is available on arXiv:0912.4075.
In this paper there are discussed the three-component distributions of affine space . Functions , which are introduced in the neighborhood of the second order, determine the normal of the first kind of -distribution in every center of -distribution. There are discussed too normals and quasi-tensor of the second order . In the same way bunches of the projective normals of the first kind of the -distributions were determined in the differential neighborhood of the second and third order.
We present a fundamental theory of curves in the affine plane and the affine space, equipped with the general-affine groups and , respectively. We define general-affine length parameter and curvatures and show how such invariants determine the curve up to general-affine motions. We then study the extremal problem of the general-affine length functional and derive a variational formula. We give several examples of curves and also discuss some relations with equiaffine treatment and projective...
